EX-LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn’s crowdfunding for a trip to Brazil while lecturing the world to go greener has been slammed as “yet more hypocrisy.”
The MP, who rakes in a £84,000 a year salary, set up a charity page to cough up for his “mission” to help lefties get into power and kick out dictator Jair Bolsonaro.

Tory MP Tom Hunt blasted the 5,300-mile gas guzzling trip as “yet more hypocrisy.”
Progressive International is covering the cost of the trip, but Jezza’s page has raised more than £4,000 towards his costs so far.
A spokesperson for Mr Corbyn said: “Jeremy has travelled at the invitation of Brazil’s trade unions, as part of the Progressive International’s mission to defend Brazilian democracy in an election vital for all of humanity.”
Corbyn pleaded: “If you’re able to, please give whatever support you can so we can send these missions… It’s about solidarity and helping people.”
Veggie Mr Corbyn also hit out at British banks for funding meat farms which destroy the Amazon rainforest – saying they were “complicit” in destroying the planet.
Tory MP Tom Hunt added: “This is classic Jeremy.
“He gets on his soap box and preaches to the rest of us that we should give up our foreign holidays, cars and steak dinners, while jet setting around the world himself.
