Migrants make incredible contribution to Wales, says Corbyn

Wales should be proud of the diversity of cultural life and contributions made by migrants and immigrants, says Jeremy Corbyn.

He was speaking to BBC Wales after his first party conference speech as Labour leader in Brighton on Tuesday in which he called for "kinder politics".

"There are many people who have come from all parts of the world and made their home in Wales and made an incredible contribution," he said.

Mr Corbyn's comments came in response to questions about the number of migrants coming into Britain and he said they made an "incredible contribution to our society" by working in the NHS, in education and university and research as well as opening and developing business.

He was speaking to Oliver Hides on BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme.
