LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn slammed the Tory Party conference as “a feast of spin and deception” during a visit to Scotland yesterday.

Mr Corbyn said that “behind the spin and the rhetoric” in Manchester this week it was “the same old Tories” who are “on the side of the few, not the many” by stealing millions from Britain’s low-paid workers to fund tax cuts for the rich.

He said it was hypocritical of the Tories to claim to be on the side of ordinary people while “robbing three million low-paid families of £1,000 a year with the tax credit cuts.”

He slammed the Tories’ “fake claims to be fighting poverty on the very day independent research revealed their cuts would drive more than 200,000 working households into poverty.”

And Mr Corbyn denounced their “fake claims to support equality, as Theresa May was condemned by the Institute of Directors for jeopardising Britain’s economic recovery by pandering to anti-immigration sentiment.”

Mr Corbyn pledged to give more support to businesses operating in the interests of the community, saying that Britain should promote firms which “don’t lock out trade unions and don’t rely on zero-hours contracts.”

Mr Corbyn, who is visiting Scotland in a bid to reconnect with the Scottish electorate and win back ground lost to the SNP, said a “revitalised” Labour Party with a “huge and growing membership” had rattled Prime Minister David Cameron and the Tories in recent weeks.

He said that Labour will stand with “the great majority of the British people who demand a fairer and more equal society.”
