A small plane flew a 'Labour is Death UK' banner over Leeds city centre this morning.

The bizarre banner was spotted by people who looked to the skies, perhaps expecting snow - but got a strange political message instead.

The plane and its banner could be seen above Albion Street at around 10.45 am and was spotted by others across the city, causing some confusion on social media.

Howard Jones (@thehowardjones) tweeted: "A plane with a banner just flew over Leeds saying 'Labour is death UK'.

"Note: if paying for and flying a political slogan on a banner then at least have a coherent message instead of people looking up and going wtf and wondering if it is a post hardcore band's new album."

It is unclear who is behind the banner - but it has been spotted in the skies before.

In November, the Liverpool Echo reported sightings of a plane carrying what appeared to be the same banner on its flight over parts of Merseyside.

People in Seacombe, Liverpool and St Helens reported seeing the plane, with sightings in Manchester also reported.
