The former Labour Defence Minister Lord West says the soldiers filmed firing bullets at a poster of Jeremy Corbyn need a "kick up the backside". Lord West - who used to be head of the Navy - said soldiers sometimes do stupid things. The troops - members of the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment - shot holes in a large picture of the Labour leader using hard wax rounds. The incident happened on a military range in Afghanistan and came to light after it was posted on Snapchat. Brigadier Nick Perry said the Army is conducting a full investigation and described the soldiers' actions as a "serious error of judgment". Stephen got the views of commentator Martin Daubney and the former People Before Profit MLA Eamonn McCann.
