NATO ‘dialogue’ triggers more flak Royals' MP mocks Harry Army role

JEREMY Corbyn sparked a new row over his NATO stance after refusing to pledge military backing for an ally invaded by Russia.

Asked about the 68-year-old alliance, the Labour leader told US TV channel CNN: “The NATO charter asks for acts of solidarity and support. It is not necessarily military – it can be diplomatic, it can be economic, it can be a lot of things.

“What I want is a dialogue between NATO and Russia.”

But Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said: “Jeremy Corbyn’s comments put our security and the security of our Eastern European allies at risk at a time of growing Russian aggression and international threats. The Labour Party must be crystal clear about whether it supports collective defence.”
