Jeremy Corbyn believes he ‘lives rent-free’ in Rishi Sunak’s head given the Prime Minister’s repeated reference to him during attacks on Sir Keir Starmer.
The former Labour leader criticised Rishi Sunak for giving a wholly incorrect representation of his 2019 agenda on national security during Prime Minister’s Questions.
Jeremy Corbyn, who now sits as an independent MP for Islington North, also asked Rishi Sunak to correct the record and to accurately reflect his views rather than deliver stories made up by him or his office.
Rishi Sunak has pledged to repeatedly use Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer’s backing for Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership as an attack line during PMQs.
On Wednesday, Rishi Sunak claimed Jeremy Corbyn’s national security agenda included cancelling our armed forces, discarding the nuclear deterrent, recoiling from NATO, voting against every single anti-terror law we tried, and befriending Hamas and Hezbollah.
But Jeremy Corbyn said Rishi Sunak gave him no advance warning of the plan to reference him at PMQs and stated this was against the conventions of the House.
Jeremy Corbyn added to deputy speaker Nigel Evans that he gave a totally false representation of the 2019 election manifesto, which he must have been completely well conscious of because he took part in numerous discussions about the content of that manifesto during the election drive, and could they guide him on how the Prime Minister could correct the record?
And he said that if he was going to live rent-free in his head, at least he could accurately reflect what he believes and what he would say rather than fantasies made up by him or his office.
Mr Evans said MPs were accountable for the content of their contributions in the room, adding that in respect of what was said in the House, parliamentary privilege permits all Members the freedom of free speech to ensure they can represent their constituents and voice their opinions without fear or favour.
He said that this was a privilege and they must exercise great responsibility so the Treasury bench would have heard that point of order and he was confident it would be passed onto the Prime Minister.
Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt identified the need for MPs to give each other notice about plans to reference them in their addresses, and she added that she suspects Jeremy Corbyn should be prepared for him to be discussed, and in particular, the Leader of the Opposition’s support for both him and the manifesto that he stood on to be noted on at least a weekly basis.
Rishi Sunak isn’t a real Prime Minister, he’s just a stand-in until another one comes along, and Jeremy Corbyn would crucify him in PMQs if he was the opposition leader, and every time the Tories bring up Jeremy Corbyn they also need to have Boris Johnson and Liz Truss thrown back at them, and continually bringing up the former leader just demonstrates that money bags Rishi Sunak doesn’t have anything else.
And it’s a pity that everyone believed the untruths about Jeremy Corbyn because had they not we could have had a worthy Prime Minister and hopefully a more reasonable society.
This gentleman would have frightened the life out of the establishment. He was actually quite amazing, and we would have been far better off having him as a leader than ridiculous Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak who lives in Alice in Wonderland.
I believe that Rishi Sunak portrays his desperation by referring to Jeremy Corbyn, and he can barely defend Tory’s current record so he has to deflect attention by going back again to the last election and how the country rejected Jeremy Corbyn, but what they forget to note is that the country picked Boris Johnson, not Rishi Sunak, and a General Election should be called now, even if it is to just give Rishi Sunak some credibility.
