Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn signed off an interview following a rally in Derby by wishing Nottingham Forest "good luck" ahead of the Reds' much-anticipated play-off final showdown against Huddersfield Town. Steve Cooper's side travel to Wembley on Sunday (May 29) to take on the Terriers in what's said to be the richest game in football - with promotion to the Premier League at stake.
Mr Corbyn was at a rally on Chester Green, on the outskirts of Derby city centre, on Saturday (May 21) to commemorate a meeting by Chartist George Julian Harney in 1839 when he called for workers across the UK to down tools and strike. But he closed his interview with Derbyshire Live by saying: "And good luck to Nottingham Forest!"
Speaking after the speech, the now independent MP for Islington North said members of communities, especially young people, in Derbyshire were having to get by with low wages and insecure work. He said those struggling needed extra help from the government with the cost of living crisis. And he wants people to receive higher benefits and pensions.
