This was the moment when Tom Swarbrick took on the Labour MP who thinks Donald Trump's claim that Jeremy Corbyn would be "so bad" for Britain is a "clincher" for his party.

Slough MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi took to Twitter to make that comment, after hearing the US President's world exclusive LBC interview.

He then also spoke to LBC, repeating the claim to Tom and also telling him that Boris Johnson can't be trusted because of his more friendly relationship with Mr Trump.
