Corbyn taunts May as she backs down on election pledges in Queen's speech

Jeremy Corbyn insisted Labour is a “government-in-waiting” as he taunted Theresa May over the loss of her parliamentary majority, promising to vote down unpopular austerity measures and offer “strong and stable leadership”.The Labour leader was warmly cheered from the packed Labour benches, as he responded to a slimmed-down Queen’s speech, which set out a legislative programme dominated by Brexit and was stripped of a series of controversial manifesto policies.
