Controversy as Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn links terror attacks to wars abroad

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn links terror attacks to wars abroad and says a change to UK foreign policy will reduce the threat in Britain.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has linked the terror threat in the UK to wars fought abroad by Britain. As election campaigning resumes after the attack in Manchester, Mr Corbyn will today say the "war on terror is simply not working". According to pre-released excerpts from his speech, Mr Corbyn will say that "many experts... have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home". And he will pledge a "change at home and change abroad" if Labour wins power. Stephen spoke to Phil Kelly, local Labour Party member and Corbyn supporter and John Rentoul, The Independent's chief political columnist.

Also on the podcast,'It was like being groomed' - Abdul talks to Stephen about being radicalised.
