A MAN from north London was charged this morning for assaulting Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The Metropolitan Police arrested 31-year-old John Murphy, from Barnet, for allegedly attacking Mr Corbyn as he left a mosque yesterday afternoon.

Mr Corbyn was visiting the Muslim Welfare House in his Islington constituency as part of the nationwide Visit My Mosque Day.

Thank you to mosques across the country for opening your doors to people of all faiths and none on #VisitMyMosque Day.

It was a great opportunity to see first-hand the great work that so many mosques are doing in their communities. pic.twitter.com/6IU2foz22W
