Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the UK's opposition Labour Party, has argued that the leaks show Prime Minister Boris Johnson has discussed the UK's National Health Service with the US government. It's unclear how the documents were originally leaked, but they were first posted to Reddit in October. And of course neither the UK nor the US government have denied their authenticity.
