Michael Gove: Never let Jeremy Corbyn speak for Britain
MICHAEL Gove yesterday accused Jeremy Corbyn of backing “antiBritish extremists” while failing to “open his mouth to honour our war dead”.
Michael Gove described Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as ‘genial’ but accused him of backing foreign ex
The Tory Cabinet minister launched a blistering attack on the Labour leader for his refusal to sing God Save The Queen at a Battle of Britain memorial service.
“For the sake of decency and democracy, we must ensure that Labour’s new leader never has the chance to speak for this country,” the Justice Secretary said.
Michael Gove also criticised John McDonnell's support for the IRA
He described the Labour leader as a “genial fellow” and joked that he was “better dressed, better spoken and indeed much posher than me.”
Mr Corbyn himself called the antisemitic and mass-murdering terrorist organisations Hamas and Hezbollah ‘friends’
But he went on to point out that shadow chancellor John McDonnell, had “congratulated the IRA on using bombs and bullets to get its way.”
And “Mr Corbyn himself called the antisemitic and mass-murdering terrorist organisations Hamas and Hezbollah ‘friends’.”
Mr Gove said the Tories had now displaced Labour as the true party of workers.
Questions have been raised about the nature of Jeremy Corbyn's relationship to some extremist groups
Corbyn caused controversy last month by refusing to sing the National Anthem during a WW2 memorial
“So let us today pledge ourselves to be true to the mandate we won against the odds, to be modern, compassionate Conservatives dedicated to social justice, and to fight for the poorest more passionately than anyone else. David (Cameron) won a famous victory and all those who doubted were proved wrong.”
