Jeremy Corbyn: Labour MPs secretly want me to win
The TelegraphAt an event to address canvassers, there were echoes of the 2017 general election campaign that had seen Mr Corbyn as Labour leader surpass expectations in terms of total seats won. There was even at one point a chant of “Oh, Jeremy Corbyn”, sung to the tune of the White Stripes’s Seven Nation Army - the unofficial anthem of Mr Corbyn’s 2017 campaign. Asked what he makes of Sir Keir’s “changed Labour Party”, as the current Labour leader likes to refer to it, with similarities to Sir Tony Blair’s New Labour drive, Mr Corbyn said he was not impressed. He responded: “Well, the changed Labour Party seems to involve suspending a lot of people from membership, expelling quite a few from membership and an economic strategy which I think is inadequate to meet the needs of the times in our country.” Sir Keir secured the Labour leadership in 2020 on a 10-pledge platform that sounded Corbynite, including abolishing tuition fees, raising income tax and mass renationalisation. And if I’m in Parliament, I’ll be making sure that there’s at least one voice there demanding that they do.” Asked if he would try to push Sir Keir, who polls suggest will become the prime minister next month, to the Left if re-elected as an MP, Mr Corbyn said: “Yeah, of course, of course.” Mr Corbyn made clear in the interview and his speech to supporters that lifting the two-child benefit cap, going further on renationalisation and bringing in a wealth tax would be among the issues he would champion.
