Jeremy Corbyn is urging Labour members to attend a series of special screenings of the campaigning Ken Loach film I, Daniel Blake, in the run-up to Philip Hammond’s autumn statement, in an effort to rally support against planned cuts to disability benefits.
“We’re living in an I, Daniel Blake society as a result of having the Tories in power for six years.
Corbyn challenged the prime minister on the various benefits cuts in the House of Commons.
She responded by claiming Labour would like to see “no assessments, no sanctions and unlimited welfare” – an assertion later denied by Corbyn’s spokesman.
