Supporters of UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn booed and jeered when he was asked about the royal engagement at a Scottish Labour event in Glasgow.

When a reporter simply asked Mr Corbyn for his reaction to the news from Clarence House, members of the audience hissed and shouted “Get off” and “Who cares?”

However Mr Corbyn was far more positive.

He said: “My congratulations to Harry and Meghan, I wish them well, I hope they have a great time and great fun together.

“Having met Harry a couple of times I’m sure they’re going to havea great deal of fun together.

“I really do admire the way Harry and his brother have actually drawn attention to mental health conditions all across the country.

“I wish them well, thank him for what he’s done, and I hope they have a great life together, OK?”

Glasgow Tory MSP Annie Wells said: “On the day the nation is celebrating this news, Labour party supporters decided to boo and jeer.

“That’s typical Labour; bitter, joyless and completely out of step with public opinion.

“Anyone monitoring the behaviour of elements of the party’s support in recent years won’t be surprised at this sour turn of events.”
