Corbyn: Labour, not Ukip, party for ordinary people
JEREMY CORBYN insisted it’s Labour, not Ukip, that is the party for “ordinary people” yesterday as he launched the party’s campaign in Oldham West & Royton.
Mr Corbyn visited the constituency to launch the by-election campaign alongside candidate Jim McMahon, the 35-year-old Oldham council leader.
Mr McMahon is defending a 14,000 majority but faces a divisive campaign against Ukip, which came second in May.
