Theresa May demands Jeremy Corbyn come clean about his links with Communist Cold War spies

THERESA May joined growing calls for Jeremy Corbyn to come clean over his links to Commie Cold War spies.

She also urged him to allow release of his file from the archives of ex-East German secret police the Stasi.

Mrs May said: “It’s for individual MPs to be accountable for their actions in the past. Also, where there are allegations of this sort, MPs should be prepared to be open and transparent.”

Meanwhile, three of the leftie’s aides had ties to pro-Soviet groups, it has emerged.

Spin chief Seumas Milne worked for pro-Moscow mag Straight Left, which backed the USSR’s 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. It also urged UK Communists to stick to a “solidly Stalinist path”.

Mr Corbyn’s ex-strategy chief Steve Howell and Andrew Murray — a key election aide last year — also wrote for the publication during the Cold War.

Unite union chief of staff Mr Murray also worked for Soviet news agency Novosti from 1986-87.

Tory MPs rounded on Mr Corbyn over the row.

Security minister Ben Wallace, likening Mr Corbyn to a famed Brit Soviet spy, wrote: “Jeremy has been interested in foreign policy his entire career. So was Kim Philby.”

And Ben Bradley deleted a Twitter remark after a legal threat from Mr Corbyn.

The Sun last week told how we found Czech archive files showing he met an agent from the secret StB police at least four times.

Jan Sarkocy said Mr Corbyn — codenamed COB — knew he was a spy and was paid by him.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson accused him of “a betrayal of this country”.

Defence minister Tobias Ellwood claimed it raised doubts over his loyalty to Britain.

Mr Corbyn’s spokesman said of the row with Mr Bradshaw: “Jeremy instructed solicitors to contact Ben Bradley to delete his libellous tweet or face legal action.”

The Labour boss has admitted meeting Mr Sarkocy. But he denies passing information to a foreign state.
