Former US Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders says he is planning to tour the UK ahead of the country’s general elections next month.
Sanders, a Vermont senator, is scheduled to give a series of speeches to promote his best-selling book Our Revolution: A Future To Believe In, which provides an in-depth look into his close race with former secretary of state Hillary Clinton to represent Democrats in the 2016 US presidential election.
The 75-year-old politician will make an appearance at the Brighton Festival on June 1, before speaking at Cambridge Union, Oxford Sheldonian, Brixton Academy, Bristol Festival of Ideas and Hay Festival in Powys, Wales a day later.
The visit would take place within days from the June 9 snap general elections in the UK, where Prime Minister Theresa May and her party would defend their throne against their rivals, including an aggressive Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn.
