Watch: Jeremy Corbyn hits back at Tories who complain about his 'scruffy' dress sense in the 1980s

Footage has emerged of Jeremy Corbyn taking on his Tory critics in the 1980s who complained about his scruffy dress sense.

"It’s not a fashion parade, it’s not a gentleman’s club, it’s not a banker’s institute; it’s a place where the people are represented," Mr Corbyn says in defence of his right not to wear the dinner jackets chosen by the Tories.

Wearing a jumper knitted by his mother and a shirt bought from his local co-operative, a 35-year-old Mr Corbyn goes on the attack, describing how "fleets of limousines" draw up carrying "large Tory MPs with even larger stomachs" for late-night votes in the Commons.
