LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn is heading to Barnsley to rally support for his leadership campaign but the news comes as the town’s MPs publicly backed his challenger Owen Smith this week.
Mr Corbyn will stop off in town on Saturday, September 10 for a rally being held at the NUM offices of Huddersfield Road, Barnsley, starting at 1pm.
The event is being hosted by Momentum Barnsley, which describes itself on its Facebook page as a group of like-minded people supporting Jeremy Corbyn.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
