Jeremy Corbyn has announced he is taking the "first steps" in legal action against Nigel Farage over a "highly defamatory statement".

Writing on social media, the former Labour leader - who now sits as an independent MP - said: "I have asked my lawyers to take the first steps in commencing legal proceedings against Nigel Farage, following a highly defamatory statement about me.

"We are a movement for peace - and we cannot stand by and let these disgusting and malicious lies go unchallenged."
