Jeremy Bernard Corbyn (born 26 May 1949) is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington North since 1983.
Jeremy Corbyn is a candidate in the 2015 Labour Party leadership election alongside Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall. At a leadership hustings meeting in Cardiff on 5 July 2015 Jeremy Corbyn told 600 Welsh Labour Party members:
- “Next week there is going to be a Budget. Osborne has already written it and the stories are leaking out. Inheritance tax is being removed for the very wealthy, benefits cut for the very poorest. Expenditure on education, on housing and other things will be further cut. We’ve got to be out on the streets from next Wednesday when this Budget comes out, saying to people... this is a strategy that is about greed, about inequality, about poverty.”
The country’s biggest trade union Unite has joined four others in backing the veteran MP Jeremy Corbyn, which has brought the prospect of the Labour Party being led by the staunchly anti-austerity candidate closer to reality.[1]
Contents
Early and personal life
Jeremy Corbyn attended Adams' Grammar School in Newport, Shropshire. He and his elder brother Piers Corbyn are the sons of David B. Corbyn a renowned expert in power rectifiers.[2]
For many years Corbyn lived in Haringey but moved to Finsbury Park in London with his three sons. In 1999 he divorced after his wife refused to send their son to a local inner-city school. Corbyn opposes the segregation of children at such a young age.[3] However, Corbyn has stated he 'gets on very well' with his ex-wife. He also stated 'Well, I’ve got three boys and love them dearly and we get along great'[4]
In a 2014 interview, he described himself as 'parsimonious' and stated 'Well, I don’t spend a lot of money, I lead a very normal life, I ride a bicycle and I don’t have a car'.
Political career
Before his election to Parliament, Jeremy Corbyn was an elected councillor in the London Borough of Haringey (1974–83). He was also a full-time organiser for National Union of Public Employees (NUPE) and served on a health authority.[5] He is considered one of the more left-wing of Labour MPs and is member of the Socialist Campaign Group. He has a weekly column in the Morning Star. A long-time supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), he is one of its three Vice-Chairs. He is on the London Regional Select Committee.
He was re-elected in 2015 with 60.24% of the vote, and a majority of 21,194.[6]

He has campaigned against the Gaza–Israel conflict and promotes the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. He is also a Venezuelan solidarity activist[17] and has advocated for the rights of the forcibly-removed Chagossians to return to the British Indian Ocean Territory.
In early 2013, Corbyn co-signed a letter which was published in The Guardian newspaper that indicated his support for the anti-austerity People's Assembly movement.[18] He has been a sponsor of the March for Homes.[19]
In 2013, Corbyn attended a conference in London, organised by the Argentine Foreign Ministry, calling for dialogue between the UK and Argentine governments on the question of Falkland Islands sovereignty.
In 2013, Corbyn an advocate for dalit rights, told The Indian Express newspaper that caste prejudice was "exported to the UK through the Indian Diaspora. The same attitudes of superiority, pollution and separateness appear to be present in South Asian communities now settled in the UK".[20]

Rebellion
Since 2005 Jeremy Corbyn has defied the whip 238 times (25% of the time),[21] making him one of the most rebellious Labour MPs, only matched by Kate Hoey. He was one of 16 signatories of an open letter to Ed Miliband in January 2015 calling on the party to commit to oppose further austerity, take rail franchises back into public ownership and strengthen collective bargaining arrangements.[22]
Labour leadership bid, 2015
On 3 June 2015, BBC News Online reported that Corbyn was a candidate in the contest to become the next Leader of the Labour Party following Ed Miliband’s resignation. The BBC report quoted Corbyn as telling the Islington Tribune that he would stand on a "clear anti-austerity platform". Corbyn added: "This decision to stand is in response to an overwhelming call by Labour Party members who want to see a broader range of candidates and a thorough debate about the future of the party. I am standing to give Labour Party members a voice in this debate".[23] He achieved the 35th nomination required to be present on the ballot just before the noon deadline on 15 June 2015.[24]
Expenses
From 7 May until 31 August 2010, Corbyn was the lowest expenses-claimer in the House of Commons. He told the Islington Gazette 'I am a parsimonious MP. I think we should claim what we need to run our offices and pay our staff but be careful because it’s obviously public money. In a year, rent for the office Durham Road, Finsbury Park, is about £12,000 to £14,000'[25] He rents his constituency office from the Ethical Property Company.
Awards
Corbyn has won the Parliamentary Beard of the Year award a record five times, and the Beard of the Year, having described his beard as "a form of dissent" against New Labour.[26]
In January 2013, Corbyn was awarded the Grassroot Diplomat Initiative honour for his ongoing support for a number of non-government organisations and civil causes across the country.[27]
Also in 2013, he was awarded the Gandhi International Peace Award.[28]

| Ayesha Hazarika | “Whether we like it or not, we have to understand that the membership is still really into Jeremy Corbyn (as a recent Times poll confirmed) and that love-rush is going nowhere for a while.
And we can’t just bypass the party as tempting as that may be. Because of the new rules, the members are the gatekeepers to the leadership – so there is no point in a kamikaze-like attempt at a coup. Yes, it would be interesting to watch but it would make the media and the Tories’ day but ultimately, it would be embarrassing and it would fail. And to be fair to Jeremy – he won. He won big. And just because we don’t like it, we can’t magically hoof him out when the rules and the membership are against that. Instead of getting bitter, we need to get better. Instead of holding out for a hero and trying to magic up a new leader, we need to go away and do all the boring difficult things we know we have to do but haven’t done for a long time.” | Ayesha Hazarika | 23 May 2016 |
