Establishment Fit: Jeremy Corbyn branded as ‘natl security threat’ – YouTube
Jeremy Corbyn win: Conservative Party warning that new Labour leader is ‘threat to national security’ mocked on Twitter
The Conservative Party is facing ridicule after it responded to Jeremy Corbyn’s landslide Labour victory by warning that he is a “threat to national security”.
Mr Corbyn gained 59.5 per cent of votes in the election, leaving his rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall in the dust with 19 per, 17 per cent and 4.5 per cent respectively.
As part of what appeared to be a co-ordinated response to the left-winger’s win, David Cameron lead his party in warning the public of the apparent risk that Mr Corbyn posed to the nation.
His comments were mirrored by other Conservative MP on Twitter, as well as defence secretary Michael Fallon and justice secretary Michael Gove in separate interviews with the BBC.
