Your questions put to Jeremy Corbyn
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed a crowd of party members at a rally in the Trinity Centre on Thursday where he was introduced by Bristol mayoral candidate Marvin Rees.
Corbyn later visited businesses on Picton Street and Ashley Road before speaking at an event for Bristol Manifesto for Race Equality.
After the event, Bristol24/7 put readers’ questions to Corbyn, which we crowdsourced in the style of his unique approach to prime minister’s question time.
Question 1
@bristol247 Marvin Rees voted for Burnham in the leadership election. Would you have voted for him to stand as labour’s candidate for mayor?

@bristol247 that in some regards appearances and media representation does matter, and how are you going to fix this?
