Jeremy Corbyn has suggested he is in favour of reducing Nato’s presence on eastern Europe’s borders with Russia and said it was clear the US president-elect, Donald Trump, believed he could improve relations with Vladimir Putin. Bernie Sanders, the leftwing Democrat defeated by Hillary Clinton in the primaries, could have won the election, he said. “It’s time to move on from the third way, from the New Labour agenda, an agenda which was essentially an incorporation of that free market, economic thinking, which processed deindustrialisation in Britain,” he said. “I’m already working on potential trade agreements we can make with other countries, the human rights agenda, the environmental agenda and sustainability,” he said. I actually think his political outsider status is something that is going to be helpful to him,” Miliband told ITV’s Peston on Sunday.
