LONDON - Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will urge voters in the UK election to take down bankers and billionaires who"profit from a rigged system". Mr Corbyn will launch an all-out assault on the wealthiest people in Britain on Thursday , when he unveils an election manifesto promising radical change across the economy.
"If the bankers, billionaires and the establishment thought we represented politics as usual, that we could be bought off, that nothing was really going to change, they wouldn't attack us so ferociously," he will say. That even extends to Mr Corbyn breaking with protocol on Tuesday by criticising Prince Andrew, following revelations over his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On Wednesday, the prince stepped down from public duties, saying the controversy had disrupted his work and that of the royal family.
But he will also promise to"go after the tax dodgers, the bad bosses and the big polluters", with a £10 minimum wage, more power for renters, stronger unions, and a levy on the biggest polluters that will be used to tackle climate change. He's also promised to take utilities into public ownership, including BT Group Plc's Openreach unit.
