Trump administration's threat to sabotage Corbyn reveals its ‘contempt for democracy’
The British left hits back at US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's sinister remarks
THE Trump administration’s threat to sabotage Jeremy Corbyn has been slammed by activists who said it was “frightening” and displayed a “pernicious contempt for democracy.”
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has made sinister remarks in a private conversation that was leaked to the Washington Post.
He was asked by a Jewish group in New York how he would respond to a Corbyn election victory and if he would be “willing to work with us to take on actions if life becomes very difficult for Jews in the UK?”
