Footage has emerged showing members of the British army using a photo of Jeremy Corbyn for target practice, in what a senior officer called a "serious error of judgment".
A 25-second clip showed at least four servicemen firing handguns towards a large image of the Labour leader, standing at a podium displaying the party’s logo.
The soldiers drew their weapons and fired rapidly before stopping to reload as the camera zoomed in on bullet holes on Mr Corbyn’s face.
The footage was shared on Snapchat with the caption “happy with that”.
An army spokesperson said: “We are aware of a video circulating on social media. This behaviour is totally unacceptable and falls well below the high standards the army expects, and a full investigation has been launched.”
