Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the UK's Labour Party, has told Morgan Stanley and the wider banking industry that they are right to see him as a threat to the way they do business — dubbing investment banks the "gamblers who crashed our economy".

Corbyn was responding to a piece of research, published this week by the Wall Street bank's analysts, which said that the level of macro uncertainty in the UK was at its highest since the 1970s.
