Boris Johnson said UK allies are ‘anxious’ about a Corbyn government (Picture: Getty Images/EPA) The Prime Minister has blasted the Labour leader’s attitude to national security as world leaders arrive in the UK for a two-day Nato summit. Boris Johnson said Britain’s closest allies were ‘very anxious’ at the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn walking into Number 10 and accused him of being ‘naive’ to the terror risk faced by the country. He criticised his approach to the threat posed by Russia and to the western military alliance NATO, which is marking its 70th birthday this year. The PM suggested the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand could stop working as closely with the UK if Corbyn becomes Prime Minister. This is despite the four nations working with Britain under the so-called Five Eyes intelligence-sharing agreement. The Labour leader was questioned on his stance towards Russia and Nato (Picture: Reuters) Ripping into his main election rival in an interview with The Sun, Johnson said: ‘Every time he has the chance, he sides with our enemies. ‘A lot of our allies, particularly the Five Eyes, are very anxious about any future collaboration. ‘It is absolutely not a Tory scare story. They have said precisely this.’ But a Labour Party spokesman hit back and accused the Conservative government of trying to ‘keep people safe on the cheap’. He added: ‘Jeremy Corbyn has consistently made the right calls in the interests of peace and security at home and abroad and will do whatever is necessary and effective to keep the British people safe. ‘Real security doesn’t just come from strong laws and intelligence, it also comes from effective public services that have the funding they need. You can’t keep people safe on the cheap.’ The scathing attack comes with less than two weeks to go until the General Election (Picture: EPA) Johnson’s incendiary remarks were published only hours after Donald Trump’s Air Force One touched down at Stanstead Airport ahead of the Nato summit. As he campaigns for the December 12 General Election, the PM is promising tougher punishments and longer jail sentences for terrorists. This is despite criticism from the families and loved ones of last week’s London Bridge Terror attack. Johnson was accused of ‘making political capital out of a tragedy’ by deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Ed Davey. On Friday convicted terrorist Usman Khan killed Saskia Jones, 23, and Jack Merrit, 25 in a rampage with a knife in Fishmongers’ Hall. He launched his attack during an Cambridge University led event for the rehabilitation of offenders. Family of London Bridge victims criticised the PM for using the terror attack ‘for an agenda’ (Picture: PA) Addressing supporters at a Tory rally in Colchester yesterday evening Johnson said he would be ‘stopping the early release, the automatic early release of serious and violent offenders and terrorists’. But in a social media post on Saturday Mr Merrit’s father Dave said: ‘My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily.’ In an interview with the Guardian he said: ‘He would be seething at his death, and his life, being used to perpetuate an agenda of hate that he gave his everything fighting against.’ The Labour Party are hoping to bring attention to a possible US post-Brexit trade deal while Trump is in the country. Corbyn published a letter to the American leader in which he asks for ‘reassurances’ that negotiators would not seek to push up UK medicine prices by seeking access to the NHS for major American pharmaceutical companies. At a rally in Hastings, East Sussex, he said ‘we are not allowing our public services to be taken over by anyone outside’. Donald Trump has dismissed Corbyn’s claims the US wants to buy the NHS (Picture: AP) It comes as questions arose over whether Russian disinformation was behind a 451-page unredacted report revealed by Labour appearing to show US-UK trade talks which Corbyn said was ‘proof’ the Tories want to sell-off the NHS. Fact-checkers say the documents show the NHS and pharmaceuticals have been discussed but there is nothing to show Britain has accepted any demands. Social media analytics firm Graphika said it worked with US-based international affairs think tank The Atlantic Council to analyse the documents, which were first made available on Reddit in October. They said the way information was initially spread online by anonymous posters had similarities to a major Russian misinformation campaign called Secondary Infektion. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said: ‘If they are using disinformation to fabricate their NHS scare stories, which are anyway not true, that speaks volumes about them.’ More: Boris Johnson Heartbroken girlfriend of London Bridge attack victim leads mourners at vigil Boris Johnson made an extra £800,000 in last parliament Parties blame each other for London Bridge attack during ITV debate But a Labour spokesman said it was no surprise the Conservatives were looking to discredit such an explosive report. He added: ‘Neither the UK nor the US government have denied their authenticity. ‘Given what they reveal, it’s not surprising that there are attempts to muddy the waters to cover up what has been exposed.’ Today Trump slammed the NHS and said he would not want it ‘even if it was handed to him on a silver platter’. He vowed ‘not to complicate’ the upcoming general election by wading into UK affairs as he visits London.
