Where to party with Corbyn supporters this weekend

Family, friends and pets of Jeremy Corbyn supporters are being invited to a special brunch to see in the Labour leader’s re-election over duck eggs and sourdough soldiers.

Momentum is hosting the Big Corbyn Brunch at the Door & Rivet, on Upper York Street near Stokes Croft, where there will be a live projection of the leadership results coverage accompanied by “tasty food, music & pavement party”.

“Let’s come together in Bristol to show our continued massive support and determination behind Jeremy’s work as Labour leader and join in a solidarity celebration of our own efforts in the campaign,” a message from Momentum Bristol said.

“There’ll also be a few words (no long speeches!) from Momentum, local Labour and other campaigners on the way ahead, and the energy and hope we can take forward in building a movement and a party that fights for a fair, more equal, peaceful and democratic society. Bring family, friends (and pets!) and invite all you can!”

Live coverage at the Door & Rivet, whose menu also includes granola and grilled banana bread, starts at 11am with the results expected by 11.45am.

The celebration brunch comes less than a week after a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary was aired claiming Momentum are “taking over” the Labour Party in Bristol.

It also comes as the city’s MPs face an uncertain future after publicly criticising their leader throughout the election campaign.

Kerry McCarthy, Bristol East, and Thangam Debbonaire, Bristol West, have been particularly strong in their opposition to the current leader, facing a backlash from many of their local members who support Corbyn.

Corbyn has said he will offer an olive branch if he is re-elected to all MPs who opposed him.

Both Debbonaire and McCarthy denied a request to be interviewed about their future in the Labour Party by Bristol24/7 ahead of the election result.

However, speaking to the Guardian earlier this week, Debbonaire hinted that she does not feel obliged to return to the shadow cabinet she resigned from in protest.

“I couldn’t work under those conditions: not because I’m a sensitive little flower, but because it doesn’t bloody work,” she said. “If he wins, I would have to say to my members, ‘The situation hasn’t changed.’”

McCarthy has backed leadership challenger Owen Smith from the start. She told the Guardian that Corybn’s policies were not detailed enough: “I have never seen Jeremy move beyond things you could fit on a T-shirt,” she said.

Three Bristol councillors remain suspended after breaking party rules during the leadership election – leaving the party one short of an overall majority at City Hall.

One of the councillors, Harriet Bradley, was critical of the party’s NEC and had called for deselection of anti-Corbyn MPs.

She is also rumoured to have given Corbyn an olive tree which he has since kept on his balcony in Westminster. The leader said he wanted to offer an olive branch to his MPs after the election.

“As a practical start for this I’m growing an olive tree on the balcony of my office and it’s doing very, very well. It’s thriving,” he told the Huffington Post.
