Jeremy Corbyn facing hypocrisy accusations after supporters

Jeremy Corbyn is facing accusations of hypocrisy after his supporters created a video accusing middle-class families of nepotism - despite the fact the Labour leader’s son works for John McDonnell.

A Momentum campaign group video parodies a garden party with a series of characters criticising Mr Corbyn’s policies and questioning why he is “so popular”.

One of the characters says that “people think they deserve a job, without doing the necessary work to get it” and that “nobody ever helped me out”.

A message then flashes onto screen that reads: “Got his job at a media agency through his father. Who started the agency with money from his father.

But critics have been quick to point out that Mr Corbyn’s top team contains a number of people with family links to the Labour leader and his allies.
