Labour leadership: Corbyn calls for closer Wales-London links

Labour leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn has praised Welsh Labour's record and calls for closer links with the UK party.

Speaking in Tredegar, the Islington North MP said he admired the Welsh government's running of the NHS, and said it should be given more powers over industrial development.

Mr Corbyn said he had also admired former First Minister Rhodri Morgan for his attempts to put "clear red water" between Welsh Labour policies and those of the former UK Labour government.
