Corbyn Links Terror to Wars as Labour Gets U.K. Poll Lift

Jeremy Corbyn linked U.K. military action abroad to terrorism at home and criticized Prime Minister Theresa May’s government for squeezing police budgets as election campaigning resumed four days after a suicide bomber killed 22 people in Manchester.

The opposition Labour Party leader sought to capitalize on a poll showing the Conservative lead has slipped to 5 percentage points -- its narrowest since May became prime minister last July. Less than two weeks before the June 8 general election, the truce that followed the bombing was ended as Corbyn slammed the government’s austerity policies for weakening the emergency services. He promised to overhaul foreign policy so it “fights rather than fuels terrorism.”
