Most people worse off after Theresa May’s year as Prime Minister – Jeremy Corbyn

Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour
Party,
commenting on Theresa May’s year as Prime Minister, said: 

“A
year ago today, Theresa May stood on the steps of Downing Street, saying she
wanted a country that works for everyone.

“One
year on, most people are worse off, with vital public services cut to the bone,
falling wages and stagnating living standards, soaring classroom sizes and a
million more on NHS waiting lists under the Tories.  

“Under her government, the privileged
few have benefited from tax give-aways, at the expense of the majority, who
have borne the brunt of Conservative cuts.

“Theresa May now heads a zombie
government, with no ideas, no answers and no leadership. This is a government
in name only, having to ask other parties to “clarify and improve” its
policies and delaying most Parliamentary business until the autumn.

“The
Conservatives have no plan for Britain. Labour is ready to fight the next
election, whenever it may be, to form a government that will build a country
for the many, not the few.”
