The Shadow Attorney General, Shami Chakrabarti, says UK foreign policy is "used and abused" by terrorists, in their justification for atrocities, such as the Manchester bomb.

She was commenting on Jeremy Corbyn's first speech after he resumed campaigning for the general election, where he pledged that a future Labour government would change British foreign policy, to one that "reduces rather than increases" the threat to the country.

Talking to Radio 4's The World at One, Baroness Chakrabarti said it was right for the Labour leader to say to troops that they would only be put in harm's way and deployed abroad when "there was a clear need".
