UK Tory leader calls new Labour chief ‘natl. security threat’
British Prime Minister David Cameron has branded the country’s new opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn as a "threat to national security."
Cameron made the claim in a Sunday tweet a day after Corbyn was elected the new Labour chief.
The British premier said the Islington MP would undermine the UK's defenses, the Independent reported.
“The Labour Party is now a threat to our national security, our economic security and your family's security,” Cameron said on his Twitter account.
The PM’s attack on Labour follows a similar statement by the UK Defense Secretary, Michael Fallon on Saturday, where he described the opposition party as “now a serious risk to our nation's security, our economy's security and your family's security.”
Fallon added that Corbyn’s election is a very serious moment for Britain, adding that the Tories will still be there to deliver stability, security and opportunity for the people.
The Conservatives’ campaign against Corbyn comes after he won the Labour leadership race with 59.5 percent of the votes in the first round.
The 66-year-old parliamentary veteran’s political mindset is close to the one promoted by European anti-austerity movements. Corbyn insists that there has to be public investment in order to boost economic growth in Britain.
