Jeremy Corbyn in Nottingham to discuss EU, priviatisation and devolution

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will be in Nottingham today speaking at the East Midlands Conference Centre, in Beeston.

The MP will be talking at the Labour Local Government Conference today - ahead of this year's local elections.

He is expected to support councils to reverse a generation of "forced privatisation" of local services, putting them back under the control of town halls.

The Labour leader will put his anti-austerity message and support for publicownership at the centre of the party's campaign for May's local elections inEngland.

In the speech in Nottingham, he is expected to say:

Mr Corbyn, who has already set out plans to take the railways back into public ownership, said he would back local authorities to take control of utilities and other services in their area.

A Labour government would give councils "real powers to innovate, to borrow and to invest", he will say.
