Corbyn criticizes new rules allowing the sale of community allotments, citing threat to British gardening tradition.

Former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn criticized new rules allowing the sale of community allotments to raise funds, arguing it endangers a British tradition. Housing Secretary Angela Rayner approved the sale of eight allotment sites since the election. Corbyn, a gardener, says this move makes the future of allotments more precarious. The government defends the policy, stating it only allows sales where "clearly necessary."
