Jeremy Corbyn has been forced to deny claims that he told the organiser of Glastonbury Festival he plans to scrap Trident "as soon as I can" if he becomes Prime Minister.

Michael Eavis, the farmer who has organised the Festival on his land since 1970, said Mr Corbyn told him he would be Prime Minister "in six months".

Mr Eavis was asked during a question and answer session with festival-goers what Mr Corbyn had said to him before he addressed the crowd from the famed Pyramid Stage on Saturday.
