Jeremy Corbyn lives "rent free" in the Prime Minister's head, the former Labour leader believes. Rishi Sunak has repeatedly referenced Sir Keir Starmer's previous support for Mr Corbyn as an attack line in Prime Minister's Questions.
But the lines from the PM have been a "wholly inaccurate representation" or Mr Corbyn's agenda, he said. The Islington North MP, who sits as an independent since having the Labour whip removed, asked Mr Sunak to correct the record and to “accurately reflect” his views.
On Wednesday, Mr Sunak claimed Mr Corbyn’s “national security agenda” included “abolishing our armed forces, scrapping the nuclear deterrent, withdrawing from Nato, voting against every single anti-terror law we tried, and befriending Hamas and Hezbollah”. But Mr Corbyn said Mr Sunak gave him no advance notice of the plan to reference him at PMQs and noted this was against the conventions of the House.
