Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will be in Cardiff this afternoon as part of a demonstration against plans to restrict public sector strikes.

Thousands of people are expected to join the march across the city, to protest against the UK Government's Trade Union Bill, which would tighten rules on strike ballots in Britain.

Corbyn is expected to congratulate the Welsh Labour Government on their fight against the Bill.

Welsh Labour, unlike the Conservatives in Westminster, know that strong public services rely on a well-trained, safe and decently paid workforce. Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader

In a statement the UK Government said there needed to be a balance between union members and the public.

People have the right to know that the services on which they and their families rely will not be disrupted at short notice by strikes supported by a small proportion of union members. The ability to strike is important but it is only fair that there should be a balance between the interests of union members and the needs of people who depend on their services. Spokesperson, Department for Business

The march is due to start around lunchtime outside Cardiff's National Museum.
