JEREMY CORBYN will vow to end the “ugly and discredited system” of private contractors wrecking refugees’ lives today when he meets asylum-seekers threatened with eviction in Glasgow.

Outsourcing giant Serco holds a government contract for housing refugees in Scotland’s largest city. It announced a plan to change the locks on flats occupied by unsuccessful asylum-seekers, but the plan was “paused” after public uproar.

Mr Corbyn is on a four-day tour of Scotland. It will culminate tomorrow night with a lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival, in which he will set out his views on Britain’s “media landscape.”
