Jeremy Corbyn pledges all-out assault on British capitalism as he vowed his Labour government would ‘demand our money back’
Labour leader said the country now needs to focus on ‘what sort of country do we want Britain to be’ after we quit bloc
JEREMY Corbyn has pledged an all-out assault on British capitalism as he vowed his Labour government would "demand our money back".
The Opposition chief launched an unashamedly hard-left bid to turn around his struggling election campaign by promising to soak the rich.
He admitted voters were “sceptical and undecided” over backing his party, and urged his supporters to use the remaining 30 days before the election to “convince people Britain can be better”.
Mr Corbyn - launching his election battle bus in Manchester - claimed Labour was “under attack because we are standing up to the elites”.
Pleading with voters to back his ailing party, he said: “Our political system is broken and our economy is rigged”.
But pictures of the vehicle on stage in Manchester reveal it doesn’t have a single mention of Mr Corbyn, adding to speculation some candidates would prefer not to be associated with him.
He claimed his government would give British people the chance to "take our wealth back" from tax cheats, rip-off bosses and greedy bankers.
And Mr Corbyn warned there will be "a reckoning" if he wins power in the June 8 poll and breaks up a system rigged in favour of the wealthy and against ordinary workers.
The 67-year-old also sought to neutralise the Brexit issue, which Theresa May and Tim Farron have put at the heart of their campaigns, by insisting the “issue has been settled”.
