Corbyn's sweatshop T-shirts: Poverty-stricken workers paid just 49p an hour to make clothes that boosted his coffers by £100,000
Jeremy Corbyn swept to victory backed by cash raised from the sale of T-shirts made by factory workers earning just 49p an hour. The Socialist firebrand's fighting fund got a £100,000 boost from the 'Team Corbyn' garments, which sold out on his official website. Moments after taking over the Labour leadership, Corbyn spoke of his determination to combat poverty and inequality in an impassioned victory speech. But an investigation by The Mail on Sunday reveals that scores of workers in Nicaragua and Haiti toiled to produce the T-shirts, which cost supporters £10, plus £3.50 postage. Mail.
