The leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn made a surprise visit to Lincolnshire at the weekend ahead of a parliamentary by-election in the county.
Mr Corbyn made a speech to Labour activists at the Boston Road Recreation Ground in the market town of Sleaford – 18 miles from Lincoln.
He was there on Sunday afternoon supporting Jim Clarke – a refuse truck driver and former postman – who’s the Labour candidate in the upcoming Sleaford and North Hykeham by-election.
The contest was triggered after the resignation of Conservative MP Stephen Phillips earlier this month over disagreements with the government’s stance on Brexit.
Jarrad Johnson, editor of The Linc spoke to Mr Corbyn and you can watch the interview below:
