London: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has launched his election campaign with a promise to “go after the tax dodgers, the dodgy landlords, the bad bosses and the big polluters”.

He said he offered “the most radical and exciting plan for real change ever put before the British electorate” including a real living wage, free childcare, an end to university fees and renationalising “rail, mail and water”.

And he promised “real action on the climate crisis” which would have a “green industrial revolution absolutely at its centre and heart”.

Corbyn added that solving Brexit “really isn’t that complicated” – Labour would get it “sorted within six months” by striking a new Brexit deal that would keep the UK in the EU customs union then putting the deal to the people in a referendum.
