LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn has cancelled his visit to the Stroud district due to his late decision to be involved in a live BBC leaders' debate in Cambridge.
The rally will still be going ahead with a speech from Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner.
It will still take place at Forest Green's New Lawn, and will still start at 3.30pm.
The Labour leader will join the leaders of the Liberal Democrats, Ukip, the Green Party and Plaid Cymru, and the SNP’s leader at Westminster, in the BBC Election debate.
But Conservatives will be represented by Home Secretary Amber Rudd, after the Prime Minister made clear that she is not willing to take part in head-to-head debates with any other party leaders during the campaign for the June 8 election.
Speaking to a rally of supporters in Reading, Mr Corbyn issued a challenge to Mrs May to join him at the debate in Cambridge.
