Is this true or is it just another 'The Russians did it' moment in the news??

Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and Ken Livingstone were among a group of at least 15 Labour figures who passed information to the Soviet Union, a former Eastern-bloc agent has claimed.

Former Czechoslovak spy Jan Sarkocy said the hard-Left politicians were 'great sources' in the 1980s.

Mr Sarkocy, 64, claims there is 'no question' Mr Corbyn and his Labour colleagues knew he was a spy and said: 'Everything was absolutely clear at the time.'

Mr Livingstone, then a Labour MP, was a 'good boy', the Czech agent told the Sunday Telegraph.

He said he had met 'about '10 or 15' Labour MPs but did not name them.

Labour has dismissed Mr Sarkocy's latest claims, which come after he previously alleged Mr Corbyn was a paid informant of the Czech secret police at the height of the Cold War.

Mr Livingstone last night denied the accusations, saying they were a 'tissue of lies'. He admitted meeting a Russian 'representative' though said nothing happened.

Mr McDonnell, now Labour's shadow chancellor, described the claims as 'ridiculous'.

Labour sources said the claims were 'entirely false' and insisted Mr Mr Sarkocy has 'no credibility at all'.
