JEREMY CORBYN has accused Labour MP Margaret Hodge of a “total breach of trust” by recording a private meeting between them without his permission.
The Labour leader wrote of his “extreme disappointment” of hearing on Radio 4 that Ms Hodge recorded their meeting last week despite agreeing that it would be private.
He also defended the party’s handling of anti-semitism cases following Ms Hodge’s accusation that members of his team had interfered.
