Corbyn’s foreign policy speech – key points:
Jeremy Corbyn’s speech on foreign policy focused on two areas the Labour leader feels more than comfortable talking on – human rights and pacifism. Here’s what he told the crowd in York.
• Communities must ‘come together’ after London Bridge attack
• Justice system “badly undermined by austerity cuts” in run up to attack.
• Claimed foreign interventions and government actions “have fueled, not reduced” threat of terror
• Pledged to support the UN Human Rights Binding Treaty
• Will introduce ‘War Powers Bill’ to remove ability to wage war without parliamentary approval from PM
• Will formally recognise Palestine and support a two state solution
• Pledged to stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia
