Corbyn attacks Rayner for selling off allotments
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn criticizes Angela Rayner for selling off allotments, expressing concern over the loss of these valuable green spaces for growing fruit and vegetables. Allotments are protected under the Allotment Act 1925 but have faced sales for development, which Corbyn opposes. Allotments are important for communities, and there are long waiting lists for plots across the UK. The government states that the sale of allotments should only happen when necessary and should offer value for money.
