Lord West warns of 'supporting Islamist myth'

Lord West has warned against supporting the "radical Islamist narrative", following Jeremy Corbyn's comments linking UK foreign policy to terror threats.

The former First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, who sits as a Labour peer, told the World At One:

"They [Radical Islamists] have created a narrative and myth that because we are involved abroad, that's why there is terrorism... and that is clearly completely wrong."
