Jeremy Corbyn celebrates with new Bristol Mayor

Jeremy Corbyn joined in the celebrations as Labour's Marvin Rees was elected Bristol Mayor.

The leader of the Labour Party made the journey from London, to congratulate Mr. Rees and emphasise his support for the man who beat George Ferguson by 29,000 votes.
