Corbyn calls for solidarity with refugees at Morning Star Christmas rally

JEREMY CORBYN made an impassioned call for peace and solidarity with refugees at the Morning Star Christmas rally on Wednesday night.

Linking the refugee crisis to British wars, he said: “The biggest criticism I got as Labour leader was for giving an apology for the Iraq war.”

The wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria had made the world “a more dangerous place. The real issues — poverty, environmental destruction, exploitation, racism and discrimination — are not going to be solved with F16 bombs.”
