Jeremy Corbyn has fired off a fresh warning at UK financiers, telling them that a Labour government would chase “dirty money” out of the City in its bid to bring balance to the country’s economy.

His comments come amid reports that Labour is gearing up to fight another general election in the belief that Theresa May’s Conservative government will crumble because of infighting over Brexit.
