Mr Miliband gave a speech at the city’s Priory Street Centre yesterday.
Mr Bayley is backing Mr Miliband in the battle for the leadership of the Labour Party following the heavy defeat in this year’s General Election.
He faces opposition from his brother, Ed Miliband, Ed Balls, Andy Burnham and Diane Abbott.
