Jeremy Corbyn slams PM for red carpet welcome for Egyptian President Sissi

JEREMY CORBYN has accused David Cameron of displaying “contempt” for democracy and human rights by “rolling out the red carpet” for Egyptian president Abdel Fatah el-Sissi.

The Prime Minister will today welcome the former head of Egypt’s army, who ousted democratically elected Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013, to No 10 to discuss “security co-operation” over Libya.

Labour’s leader will not meet Mr Sissi and has criticised Mr Cameron for hosting a “coup leader” accused of human rights abuses.
