Jeremy Clarkson, 64, wades into Labour benefits cut row with blistering Starmer assessment: ‘Marxist!’
Jeremy Clarkson has made has opened a new line of attack against “Marxist” Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the Labour Government’s changes to Britain’s benefits regime.
The 64-year-old writer and broadcaster has previously been intensely critical of Starmer for the “family farm tax,” net zero policies and immigration.
Away from the motoring journalist, the Prime Minister has faced intense criticism from some, even within his own party, over planned welfare cuts.
Among the changes, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall will tighten eligibility criteria for Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

Pip helps those with disabilities or long-term health conditions cover additional living costs.
As many as one million people could lose their entitlement to PIP from November next year, leaving them “£4000 worse off”, leaving them “£4000 worse off”.
Clarkson, writing in his column for The Sun, assured that a feared return to austerity was not on the cards – but something much worse was “in his DNA”.
The 64-year-old instead insisted Starmer was a “Marxist” that would ensure Labour’s commitment to left-wing equity politics.
“He believes that those who work hard are duty-bound to pay for those who won’t work at all,” Clarkson fumed.
To illustrate his point, the former Top Gear presenter compared a man who comes to work in his garden to the worker’s “jobless neighbours”.
The 64-year-old revealed the green figured labourer showed up to work last week with an awful eye infection.
“It looked like he’d been hit in the face with a cricket ball, and he was so dizzy he could hardly stand up,” Clarkson despaired.
Even still, the man worked “tirelessly” but was so furious the former Grand Tour star thought people in Scotland might hear him yelling.
However, the worker’s ire was not aimed at Clarkson but his inability to get a doctor’s appointment.
To add insult to injury, he had to watch as his out of work neighbours took delivery of a huge brand-new television.
Even more outrageously, a man also came round to valet the neighbour’s car which left Clarkson to despair.
