Leader let off for his trip to terrorists’ graveyard

WATCHDOGS have decided not to censure Jeremy Corbyn over his undeclared wreathlaying trip to Tunisia.

Kathryn Stone, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, accepted the Labour leader’s estimate that his two-day trip to a five-star hotel cost just £656 – just fractionally short of the threshold for listing donations. She exonerated him even though he admitted it had ‘not been possible’ to establish the actual cost, which was met by the Tunisian government.

She did find him guilty of not listing one trip which did exceed the £660 threshold for declarations – a visit to New York in April 2014 to attend a nuclear non-proliferation conference for CND. Mr Corbyn apologised ‘unreservedly’ for the error.

The Tunisia trip, during which he visited the cemetery where terror leaders linked to the Munich massacre are buried, attracted huge criticism last year.

The Mail obtained a photograph of the Labour leader holding a wreath a feet away from the graves of terror leaders linked to the 1972 Olympic Games killings.

Sir Alistair Graham, former chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, said he was sceptical about the supposed costs of the trip.
