The Labour leader was abruptly interrupted during an election speech in Dundee, Scotland, by a man who heckled Mr Corbyn on the issue of a second independence referendum. The heckler was filmed by Sky News’ Stephen Murphy who posted the video on Twitter writing: “Jeremy Corbyn angrily heckled from the floor in Dundee by man on issue of Scottish independence. He’s now been escorted out.” 

In the video, the man can be heard protesting against two security guards attempting to escort him out of the room as he shouts: “This is your democracy, Jeremy?”

It is the second time in two days the Labour leader has been attacked in Scotland by unhappy residents challenging him on his party’s policies and his controversial positions on terrorist organisations. 

On Wednesday, Mr Corbyn was heckled by a Glasgow resident while on his campaign trail who asked which “terrorist” figure he would invite to the UK first if he is elected Prime Minister in December.

Mr Corbyn was showing off a tartan scarf given by volunteer organisation Who Cares? Scotland. 

Caught by Sky News’ Tom Rayner on camera, the heckler – later identified as Scotstoun Parish Church’s Richard Cameron – can be heard saying: “I thought you’d be wearing your Islamic jihad scarf.

“I don’t think the Prime Minister of this country should be a terrorist sympathiser, Mr Corbyn.

“Who is going to be the first terrorist invited to the House of Commons when you are Prime Minister? He’s running away.”

Mr Corbyn can be seen in the video walking away from the heckler and completely ignoring his comments.

The Labour leader has repeatedly been accused of being a supporter of the IRA and of the Palestinian Islamic militant organisation Hamas – which he has consistently denied. 

The Labour leader told LBC on Wednesday that IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi “should have been arrested, not killed”.

Mr Corbyn has faced backlash for the comments as voters hit out at him over the “mistake”.

Survivor of the Westminster terror attack Travis Frain said he would not have confidence in the Labour leader to protect the safety of the UK.

Speaking to LBC’s Nick Ferrari, Mr Frain said: “Regardless of anyone’s personal opinion on whether al-Baghdadi should have been killed.

“To be quite honest I hadn’t put any thought to it.

“It seems absurd to raise this in an interview as if it’s a priority.

“It was in northern Syria and it was an extremely dangerous operation.

“Surely first and foremost, the concern here has to be with the troops that we’re putting on the ground.

“I know in this case it was US troops, but we’ve been involved in operations of a very similar kind.

“The priority should be their well-being, not the well-being of the person they are trying to capture or kill.”
