Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will speak at a rally for members in Gloucestershire today, it has been confirmed.

Mr Corbyn will be at a rally at Forest Green Rovers' New Lawn stadium in Nailsworth this afternoon.

The event will begin at 2:30pm.

Mr Corbyn's appearance will come after he congratulated Stroud candidate and FGR vice-chairman David Drew on the club's promotion from the Vanarama National League to League Two earlier this month.

He has visited the constituency twice as Leader of the Opposition recently - to Dursley where he visited the Littlecombe development and Britwind, run by Ecotricity founder and FGR chairman Dale Vince.

Mr Corbyn will then move on to Bristol later in the afternoon.

Mr Drew, who was Stroud MP from 1997 until 2010, is up against Conservative candidate Neil Carmichael on June 8.

Also standing are UKIP's Glen Gogerly, Green Sarah Lunnon and Liberal Democrat Max Wilkinson.
