Jeremy Corbyn: Labour won’t back European Union exit

Sir Nicholas said: “It was an extremely disrespectful thing and I think he needs to make his mind up whether he is a grown-up or not”.

Another potentially serious policy fault line emerged on Tuesday night when the freshly-installed shadow work and pensions secretary Owen Smith contradicted Mr Corbyn over whether the party wanted to abolish the Government’s benefits cap.

“If they have a physical disability, it is usually fairly obvious and it can be quantified and, we hope, taken into account in how the interview and test are conducted”.

Speaking to the BBC, Mr Corbyn responded to concerns from pro-EU Labour MPs over his stance on the forthcoming referendum by strongly indicating he would support an In vote.

But Mr Corbyn now must wrangle a bitterly divided caucus, with seven members of his shadow cabinet resigning from the front bench.

“We won’t be able to afford a strong NHS without a strong economy”.

The SNP’s Alex Salmond questioned whether it was an effective way of causing damage on Mr Cameron, who wasn’t challenged on his answers.

Cameron congratulated Corbyn on winning the Labour Party leadership contest that concluded Saturday with a landslide victory for the unorthodox candidate.

The Labour leader has no problem coining memorable phrases but it seemed as if he could not be bothered to insert dramatic pauses into his speech which the audience would fill with applause.

Last night Tory MP Sir Nicholas Soames, the grandson of Winston Churchill, said not singing the anthem was “very rude and very disrespectful” to the Queen and “the Battle of Britain pilots who gave their all“.

He wants a government that will nationalise more companies, abolish austerity, and levy more taxes on business.

But then, once Corbyn had finished, it was the usual free-for-all – and the volume of the braying and shouting, together with the immature grandstanding, increased.

Less than 24 hours after Corbyn’s election, his deputy Tom Watson said he and Corbyn disagreed over key defence policies such as Britain’s membership of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation , and such issues “have got to be worked out”.

Mr Murray said: “We all need to unite behind the new leader”.
