Corbyn will appear at Glastonbury

JEREMY Corbyn will appear on the main stage at Glastonbury later this week.

The Labour leader will address festival revellers next Saturday afternoon and introduce US rap duo Run The Jewels, who were huge supporters of US senator Bernie Sanders’ unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination last year.

Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis, 81, will appear on stage with Corbyn. He said: “We’re Corbyn fans. He’s got something new and precious, and people are excited about it.”

Corbyn’s shadow chancellor John McDonnell is also scheduled to appear, as well as Labour MP Clive Lewis and ex-Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.
