Jeremy Corbyn, a former candidate for UK prime minister, knowingly provided communist agents with “confidential” information during the Cold War, claims a former spy.

The allegations follow the publication of documents showing he met with a Czech agent masquerading as a diplomat in the UK during the 1980s.
