Corbyn’s older brother says Labour leader will win general election by bypassing media like Trump

    General election 2017 Jeremy Corbyn will bypass traditional media outlets with the same degree of success that outsider-turned-president Donald Trump did, the Labour leader's older brother has predicted. In an interview with The Telegraph, 70-year-old Piers Corbyn hit out at the media coverage his brother receives, claiming that news organisations like the BBC are treating him unfairly. He added that he believes shy Corbynistas will come out in force to support Corbyn and deliver him the result he wants in the general election on 8 June.

Russian bombers again fly near Alaska

    For the second consecutive night, Russia flew two long-range bombers off the coast of Alaska on Tuesday, this time coming within 36 miles of the mainland while flying north of the Aleutian Islands, two U.S. officials told Fox News. The two nuclear-capable Tu-95H bombers were spotted by U.S. military radar at 5 p.m. local time.
