LONDON: Britain’s election campaign is to resume Thursday after being brutally halted by the Manchester pop concert massacre — and the issue of security is expected to be at the fore. National campaigning involving Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn would then resume on Friday, party officials said. Even before the attack by the suicide bomber Salman Abedi, Corbyn was under fire over his security credentials. Both of the main parties’ manifestos were published before the Manchester attack. The anti-EU UK Independence Party cancelled its planned manifesto launch on Wednesday, but said it would go ahead on Thursday.
