Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the party offers "investment across the whole country" in his speech in Grimsby today.

The Labour Party leader is on the campaign trail in the area ahead of polling day next week.

Mr Corbyn is joining Labour members across North East Lincolnshire for a door-knocking rally and campaign session.

Speaking to a packed room in Grimsby earlier, Mr Corbyn said Labour has launched two big policy initiatives - national education service and big policy area housing.

He said: "We've had eight years of cuts of the NHS. Eight years of growing waiting lists in social care. Eight years of under-funding of primary and secondary schools.

"We as a party offer investment across the whole country so that we do get those sustainable jobs all over the country.

"Our party is the party of investment. It is the party of housing, of health and of treating people decently.

"When we win those council seats on Thursday that is one massive nail in the coffin of this Tory government.

"We’re fighting a very hard fight everywhere. The whole party is out here working hard and I went to thank you all for coming here today.

"There are different housing needs all around the country but the issue is we’re not building enough and there is a de-regulated private sector."
