Daily Mail: Corbyn 'The Collaborator': Czech Communist spy reveals how he recruited Labour leader in the Cold War and used him as an 'asset' to create network of informants in Russian operation
* Ex Czech secret agent Jan Sarkocy said Jeremy Corbyn was a paid informant
* Said he was rated by Russia who made plans to move him out there if discovered
* Labour leader's spokesman dismissed the allegations branding them 'smears'
Jeremy Corbyn was a paid informant of the Czech secret police at the height of the Cold War, a former Communist secret agent claims.
Former spy Jan Sarkocy said he recruited the MP, codenamed Cob, in the 1980s.
Mr Corbyn was an ‘asset’ who knew he was working with the Soviet puppet state, Mr Sarkocy claimed.
Earlier this week it emerged Mr Corbyn had hosted Mr Sarkocy – who was posted to Britain as a diplomat under a fake identity – in the House of Commons.

Update #1: Jeremy Corbyn knew I was a spy and was a Cold War source, says Czech 'diplomat' (The Telegraph)
WNU Editor: I have said this many times before .... but I like what my father told me years ago when he immigrated to the West. There are more Communists in the West (he actually was referring to Canada), than in the Soviet Union. And this is from a man who was a Soviet officer in the Second World War, a member of the Soviet Communist Party, and a top official later in life. When it came to the West my father was always struck by people like the Jeremy Corbyns in the West .... and I am old enough to recall that there were many like him in the West during the Cold War. But in the case of my father he never understood why these people in the West were so committed to the socialist principles of Marx/Engels/etc. .... especially since many of them never really lived or experienced what life was like behind the Iron Curtain. So was Jeremy Corbyn a paid spy working for Czechoslavakia's secret police .... I do not know. But from what I do know about Jeremy Corbain .... and he has been very open about his past .... he was a fellow traveler who definitely believed in the cause. And forget about being paid .... Jeremy Corbyn strikes me as someone who would have done it for free ... after all .... he even hinting during that time that he would flee to to Moscow if things got tough for him in England. As for today's accusations. My advice to him is simple .... come clean with your past (again) .... and used this as an opportunity to have a debate.
Update #2: Jeremy Corbyn denies allegation he was a paid Communist informant in the 1980's (Business Insider)
Update #3: Labour deny that Jeremy Corbyn was a paid informant during the cold war (Spectator)
Update #4: The Czechs are saying that he was not a paid spy .... Jeremy Corbyn never knowingly met communist spy, says Czech agency (POLITICO). But in their denial .... and if you read between the lines .... they do admit that they have a file on him, and they are using that file as evidence that he was not paid. But what I would like to know is if there is anything else in that file that they are not disclosing .... because that file has not been publicly released (as far as I know). And then there is that file (and I am willing to bet that there is a big file ) on Jeremy Corbyn in the Soviet archives in Moscow. I am sure there is some good stuff there. I give it another 50 years before that file is released (maybe).
