Students at the United Kingdom’s prestigious Cambridge University on Monday were told that as “the top one percent,” they must rebel against the progressive policies of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and take back the party.

The comments were delivered by Labour Party MP Tristram Hunt, who formerly served as the shadow education secretary until resigning in the wake of Corbyn’s electoral victory.

“You are the top one per cent,” Hunt told an audience of students and members of the Cambridge Universities Labour Club. “The Labour Party is in the shit. It is your job and your responsibility to take leadership going forward.”

University paper The Varsity reports, “When asked about Corbyn’s leadership, Hunt replied that ’60 percent of members voted for Corbyn’ and that he ‘is the leader until he is not.'”
