ONE can only deplore the decision by Jeremy Corbyn, the MP for Islington North, to book a Commons' committee room for Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams to promote his autobiography.

In this book, the odious Mr Adams justifies the IRA campaign of terror.

The leader of the Labour Party, Tony Blair, has quite rightly condemned the activities of Jeremy Corbyn.

It's a pity Mr Blair cannot go further and expel Mr Corbyn from membership of his Party. The House of Commons does not need extremist MPs like Jeremy Corbyn.
