I live 25 minutes away from Birmingham. I tried to get a ticket for the Conference that Corbyn is doing on Thursday but they had gone in minutes. I'm probably going to go over anyway to see how many people turn up etc.
What I will say is that those people aren't what I'd expect from people from Birmingham, and if they hate Corbyn why did they vote Labour last time? They seem more like UKIP voters to me!
Birmingham has a big student base, very multicultural almost like a smaller version of London, maybe Labour's strategy is to discard some of the old guard, but on the basis they can win those votes back and more in other areas?
