Corbyn Defends Not Singing National Anthem

The new leader wants the traditionally raucous prime minister’s questions sessions to become more respectful and fact-based. “The Rugby World Cup not only means that Wales will lift the Webb Ellis trophy, but it also gives us a great opportunity to sing the Welsh national anthem and the United Kingdom national anthem together”.

Thanks to Mr Corbyn’s late additions, his cabinet is more representative of the country than Mr Cameron’s.

Labour said Corbyn’s attendance at the service yesterday to mark the battle between the Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe in 1940 had shown his respect for those who fought.

Marie was one of 2,500 people who had asked about housing, he said.

Then, on the Today programme, shadow equalities minister Kate Green went even further, warning that her leader had “offended and hurt people“.

Britain’s Opposition Labour party does not plan to support Prime Minister David Cameron automatically by giving him a “free hand” on whether Britain remains in the European Union, its newly-appointed finance spokesman, John McDonnell, said on Tuesday.

Responding to a question from a Tory MP, the PM also appeared to take a sideswipe at Mr Corbyn’s remark during the leadership campaign that he could not think of a good case for sending British troops overseas .

“I’m sorry that my colleagues have decided that they don’t want to serve”.

Political observers will be watching how Corbyn, who was elected by a landslide over the weekend, matches up against the prime minister in the bear pit of “PMQs” and for clues as to his leadership style.

The veteran left-winger has been the MP for London’s Islington North constituency since 1983, and a vocal backbencher throughougt, but he had never been on a Labour “front bench” prior to becoming party leader.

“There are going to be new people brought in and these are fresh faces and it is a sign we are going to do politics in a new way and different way”, she said.

In response, Mr Cameron said: “I have a simple view, which is the terrorism we faced was wrong, it was unjustifiable, the death and the killing was wrong”.

“Many told me that they thought…parliament was out of touch and too theatrical, and that they wanted things done differently,” Corbyn told a packed parliament, where some lawmakers were forced to stand on the stairs.
