Theresa May blasts Jeremy Corbyn for taking money from Iranian state TV while threatening the British press
The PM has lashed out at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for taking money from Iran's state-controlled broadcaster while at the same time complaining about press ownership in Britain
THERESA MAY last night launched a blistering attack on Jeremy Corbyn for taking money from Iranian state TV while threatening the British press.
Addressing Westminster journalists, the PM let rip at the Labour boss as well as roasting her own Cabinet. She hit out: “We know Jeremy has some concerns about press ownership in Britain.
“Of course, that didn’t stop him appearing on the Iranian state-owned ‘Press TV’ for years, taking a fee from a broadcaster under the command of the Ayatollah."
The PM also ribbed her top Cabinet ministers, joking how they had followed the lead of Culture Secretary Matt Hancock in developing their own smart phone apps.
She joked how a Boris Johnson app would be "great for extending your vocabulary – but it does contain some adult content".
She added: "The Philip Hammond app is like a dryer, less frivolous version of LinkedIn."
But she also mocked herself - saying: "And tonight I can reveal that I’m even working on my own app.
"It provides GPS directions to your nearest wheat field, real-time tracking of Priti Patel’s air travel and the instant allocation of all household chores into girl jobs and boy jobs."
