THE gap between how much the rich and poor earn is closing — contradicting claims by Jeremy Corbyn, a major study has found.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the poorest 10 per cent have got richer since Labour lost power in 2010 while the wealthiest tenth are less well off.
The think tank believes the fall in inequality, seen in London and across the UK, is due to the strong growth in employment.

Labour leader Mr Corbyn repeatedly claimed during the election campaign there was a “growing gap between the richest and poorest in our society”.

But Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said: “The hard-left aren’t interested in facts. They keep peddling this myth the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.”

Fellow Conservative MP Peter Bone said: “The Government has always said that the gap is narrowing. The IFS has proved it now.”

He warned many believed the Labour leader’s claims, adding: “I’m afraid that’s the danger. Once you start believing the fake news, you’ll start believing Jeremy Corbyn’s fake economic policy.”
