Jeremy Corbyn has told Argentinian diplomats he wants a Northern Ireland-style power-sharing deal for the Falkland Islands, according to reports.

Outgoing ambassador Alicia Castro said the Labour leader “shares our concerns” and “in short, he is one of ours”.

In an interview published on the Argentinian embassy’s website, she said Mr Corbyn had visited the Argentinian embassy in London and was “friendly and humorous”.

“He is saying that dialogue (is) possible and that attitudes are beginning to change, that what was achieved in Northern Ireland can be achieved also here,” she said.

Corbyn's views on this one are... a minority position, shall we say... in the UK.
