Jeremy Corbyn managed to mispronounce the name of one of Scotland’s most acclaimed writers when speaking at a rally in Glasgow on Sunday.

Pouring over his party’s manifesto which, he highlighted, will aim to encourage school pupils’ creativity, the Labour leader made reference to Irvine “Walsh” instead of Welsh.

After telling the crowd at the Old Fruitmarket in the Merchant City he was “delighted to be in Scotland and to be amongst good friends,” Mr Corbyn went on to describe how he was “very proud of our manifesto for lots of reasons.”

Mr Corbyn - who turned 68 two days prior to his Glasgow speech - continued: “It is a comprehensive plan to transform Britain for the many, not the few.

“I am particularly proud that it recognises and seeks to develop the imagination and inspiration of all our people.

“Scotland has a powerful tradition of working class writers and artists, who wrote with passion and experience as the voice of the downtrodden against the rich and powerful.

“That oppositional writing and poetry - from Rabbie Burns to Irvine Walsh [sic] - should inspire us all and show what we can achieve.

“That’s why I’m so proud our manifesto includes an arts pupil premium so every child can learn a musical instrument.

“All of us have a painting, a poem, a song that can inspire others and change lives in us.

“We will unleash our people’s creativity - and that creativity of all our people will help build a Britain for the many not the few.”
