Jeremy Corbyn launches flagship 10 an hour minimum wage policy in front of a bin and flag that say

JEREMY CORBYN has launched his flagship £10-an-hour minimum wage policy in front of a bin and a flag that says 'dangerous'.

The Labour leader visited Luton Football Club this morning to reveal the party's new commitment.

Today Mr Corbyn vowed to confront big businesses and commit to re-balancing the economy by hiking the minimum wage up to a tenner an hour by 2020.

He said he was determined to make sure that "no one and no community" is left behind.

George Osborne unveiled plans for a Living Wage of £9 an hour by 2020.

Labour’s ‘Real Living Wage’ tops that aspiration by a pound.

But unfortunately - some of the photographs coming out of the visit show him next to what appears to be a recyling bin - and a fan flag that reads: 'LTFC DANGEROUS'.

But Tory MP Chris Philp said that Labour would crash the economy.

He said: "The only way you can raise the minimum wage is with a strong economy.  That’s how this government has increased it from £6.70 in 2015 to £7.50 today, and will increase it to £8.75 by 2020.

"Jeremy Corbyn would crash the economy with £500 billion of extra borrowing, hurting investment into this country and damaging jobs."

The Labour leader isn't the only one to have been caught out with unfortunate signs.

David Cameron was pictured in front of a partially-covered shop sign while out campaigning, and Ed Balls was pictured behind this poster for The Book of Mormon while in London.

Mr Corbyn also hit out at Boris Johnson today, accusing him of having a "Cold War mentality" after cancelling a trip to Russia in the aftermath of last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria.

He accused the Foreign Secretary of sending "all the wrong signals" and urged him to talk to his counterparts in Moscow about President Assad of Syria rather than encouraging more bombing.

Leaders are set to meet today to discuss ways to encourage President Putin to distance himself from Assad, and to consider further sanctions.

The Foreign Secretary told The Sun last night that the US bombing of Syria in response to the chemical attack showed a "clear and united message" from the West - and hinted they may do so again.

The anti-war Labour leader feared that the conflict could escalate into something "utterly disastrous".

He said: "Going back to the Cold War mentality won't bring peace.

"If one side strikes and then another side retaliates, therein lies the road to something utterly disastrous.
"There is a very small window of opportunity now. The G7 needs to reach out, everybody needs to reach out urgently and quickly."
