A Jeremy Corbyn banner famous for being displayed on the Kop at Anfield is now set to appear at Everton’s game at Arsenal.

The banner prompted much debate when it was seen during Liverpool’s match against Southampton earlier this month - with some questioning if politics and football should mix .

Many others applauded the move by campaign group Blacklist - who also displayed symbols of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and other social justice movements.

And now the banner is set to travel with Blues’ fans to the Emirates stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club - the team the socialist Labour leader supports.

Roy Bentham of the Blacklist group said: “The reaction when we put first put it up at Anfield was huge - and mainly positive.

“There was some good mannered debate and not everyone agreed with it - but it is getting people talking about politics which is great.”

Mr Bentham has been in contact with Dave Kelly, chair of the Everton supporters group Blue Union and Arsenal supporters groups.

He added: “We will definitely be displaying it outside the Emirates and are hoping we can put it on show inside the ground - but these things can be tricky to organise.”

Mr Kelly added: “The banner is very much in demand and so it should be - social justice is very relevant right now with an election ahead of us.

“We are not sure if Jeremy will be at the match on Sunday but obviously I would be honoured if he could see it or even stand with us.”

Before it makes the trip to London, the banner has another job to do closer to home.

Mr Corbyn will be holding a rally in the Wirral West constituency tomorrow in support of local candidate Margaret Greenwood and Mr Bentham has arranged for it to be put on prominent display during the event.

He said: “I have spoken to Jeremy’s team and they said they would be over the moon for it to go on display for the rally tomorrow.”
