Jeremy Corbyn
LABOUR has formally complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) about coverage of Jeremy Corbyn’s attendance at a ceremony in Tunisia.
The party said the Daily Mail, the Express, Metro, the Sun, the Telegraph and the Times had misrepresented the event in 2014, which the papers claimed was held to honour Palestinians who killed 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Mr Corbyn’s visit was actually to commemorate 47 Palestinians who died in the 1985 Israeli bombing of the Palestine Liberation Organisation office in the Tunisian capital Tunis, said Labour.
