Jeremy Corbyn will on Friday link Britain’s involvement in military action abroad to terrorist attacks such as the Manchester suicide bomb.

The Labour leader will point to “the connections between wars the Government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home”.

The comments, to be made in a speech in central London just four days after the bombing, risk accusations of insensitivity against Mr Corbyn.

He is also likely to be accused of politicising the attack by raising it immediately as general election campaigning restarts on Friday morning.
