Jeremy Corbyn thanks Dundee and promises he will be back soon

New Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written a letter of thanks to the Dundee branch of the party.

The local group backed the left-winger, prompting the note of appreciation. A hand-written message on the standard draft also speaks warmly of a packed out speech at the university’s Dalhousie Building during the campaign.

It says: “Really enjoyed the event in Dundee and hope I’ll be back soon.”

Dundee City Labour Party secretary Richard McCready said: “I hope that Jeremy is able to visit Dundee again in the near future and help us to campaign for a fairer city and a fairer country. The Labour Party in Dundee is aware of the task it faces but along with our new leadership at a UK level and with Kezia Dugdale and Alex Rowley in Scotland we are determined to campaign hard to secure the trust of the people of Dundee once again.”
