Labour Leader in Bristol

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is in Bristol for his first visit to the region since being elected.

He received a standing ovation from activists at a rally in St. Pauls to encourage more people to register to vote. Later on he'll be meeting race equality campaigners.

Mr Corbyn arrived at Bristol Temple Meads early this morning. The first person he met was our very own Ian Axton, who was on his way to London to record our political programme, The West Country at Westminster.

Jeremy Corbyn is making his first visit to the region since being elected Leader of the Labour Party.

Mr Corbyn will visit Bristol this morning to encourage people to participate in the voter registration drive.

He will also mark Black History Month by meeting with race equality activists, joining Marvin Rees - Labour's candidate for Bristol Mayor.
