Labour crisis: Corbyn branded ‘worst leader Labour has ever had’ by his own MPs

JEREMY CORBYN has been branded the worst Labour leader the party has ever had in a shocking rant by a former MP who jumped ship when the veteran left-winger attempted to block Brexit.

Ian Austin joined forces with a group of Labour MPs - past and present - to urge Mr Corbyn to “detach himself from the cult” after a new poll revealed he is now less popular than Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson who is actively trying to cancel Brexit. The ballot found that when the British public was asked who would make the best Prime Minister, 41 percent said current Tory leader Boris Johnson, 21 percent said Ms Swinson and just 18 percent said Mr Corbyn, the Daily Telegraph repots. Mr Austin said: “This confirms what the vast majority of Labour MPs know in their hearts to be true: that Jeremy Corbyn is the worst leader Labour has ever had and that he is completely unfit to lead the party or the country.”

The independent MP added: “He is not only completely incapable of leadership, but has spent his entire time working with all sorts of extremists, his views are completely out of step with the vast majority of the public and he has allowed the party to be poisoned by racism and extremism.”
