IoM is 'magic money tree' says Corbyn

Comments made during campaign rally

Jeremy Corbyn has aimed another swipe at the Isle of Man following the UK budget.

Speaking at a campaign rally in the West Midlands, the Labour leader hit out at critics of his party's spending policy.

He said 'the magic money tree is doing really well... it's in the Cayman Islands... it's in the Isle of Man... and it's absolutely fine'.

Mr Corbyn also claimed Philip Hammond's budget would 'unravel within days'.

It's not the first time he's targeted the Island - having once called for Westminster direct rule here last year, and more recently criticising the Manx aircraft industry in Parliament over alleged tax dodging.
