Jeremy Corbyn called for Britain’s drone programme to be scrapped and dubbed it an “obscenity”, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

Newly emerged footage of a 2013 protest shows the Labour leader - then a backbencher - calling drones “the ultimate in sanitised warfare".

Drones, which are unmanned aircraft, are used in the fight against Isil and were deployed to kill Mohammed Emwazi, the group’s executioner known as “Jihadi John”.
