Jeremy Corbyn's going to be in Liverpool later - gathering support in his fight to retain Labour leadership.
He's expected to hold a rally on the steps of St George's Hall this evening, with thousands due to turn out in support
It comes as he's expected to get the backing of one of the biggest trade unions - the CWU - over his rival Owen Smith.
On Saturday Smith took his campaign to topple Jeremy Corbyn into "enemy territory" telling supporters at a Liverpool rally at the Baltic Triangle: "He's not the Messiah."
Mr Smith was challenged by a Corbyn supporter at the event, who claimed the current party leader was "like the Messiah'' who people were trying to "crucify".
But the MP for Pontypridd, to the delight of around 200 supporters, shot back: "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy."
