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.”[1]
On 8 July 2015, Jeremy Corbyn made an impassioned speech in the House of Commons strongly criticising the Tories' 2015 Budget.[2]
On 19 July 2015, Jeremy Corbyn explained to BBC Sunday Politics viewers why they should vote for him to be the Labour party leader.[3] Answering host Andrew Neil's question about the plan by David Cameron to bomb ISIS in Syria, Jeremy Corbyn said:
- "You do not bring about peace in any part of the world without talking to people you don't agree with."[4]
With polls indicating he is likely to win the leadership election, Jeremy Corbyn was interviewed on 26 July 2015 on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show.[5] On 27 July 2015, Jeremy Corbyn as leader and Stella Creasy as deputy leader were proposed as Labour's 'Dream Team'.[6]

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.[7]
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.[8] 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'[9]
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.[10] 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.[11]
Economic issues
Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist, and a strong anti-poverty advocate. He voted against introducing university tuition fees in England, and voted against their increase. He was opposed to academies and private finance initiatives. He supports renationalisation of railways and a higher minimum wage. He supports a higher rate of tax for the wealthiest and an increased corporate tax rate to fund public services.
Stop the War
Jeremy Corbyn was fiercely opposed to the Iraq War and has spoken at many anti-war rallies in Britain and overseas. He is an elected member of the Stop the War Coalition (StWC) steering committee. On 31 October 2006, Corbyn was one of 12 Labour MPs to back Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party's call for an inquiry into the war.[12]
Tony Blair should stand trial on charges of war crimes if the evidence suggests he broke international law over the “illegal” Iraq war in 2003, the Labour leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn said on 5 August 2015. He called on the former prime minister to “confess” the understandings he reached with George W Bush in the run up to the invasion. Asked on BBC Newsnight whether Blair should stand trial on war crimes charges, Corbyn said:
- “If he has committed a war crime, yes. Everybody who has committed a war crime should be. It was an illegal war. I am confident about that. Indeed UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan confirmed it was an illegal war and therefore Tony Blair has to explain to that. Is he going to be tried for it? I don’t know. Could he be tried for it? Possibly. The Chilcot report is going to come out sometime. I hope it comes out soon. I think there are some decisions Tony Blair has got to confess or tell us what actually happened. What happened in Crawford, Texas, in 2002 in his private meetings with George W Bush. Why has the Chilcot report still not come out because – apparently there is still debate about the release of information on one side or the other of the Atlantic. At that point Tony Blair and the others that have made the decisions are then going to have to deal with the consequences of it.”[13]
On 17 August 2015, StWC reported that a future Labour government under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn would almost certainly reinstate the law on Universal Jurisdiction that was quietly amended by the previous Cameron government in order to facilitate the entry into Britain of Israeli politicians and military personnel without fear of arrest for alleged war crimes. That contentious action was taken by the then Foreign Secretary, William Hague, in order to accede to the demands of Binyamin Netanyahu and the government of Israel, and against the opposition of UK human rights groups.[14]
Campaigns
He was a well-known campaigner against Apartheid in South Africa. In 1984, he was arrested for protesting outside South Africa House in London. He served on the National Executive of the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM).[15] He also campaigns against Apartheid in Israel. [16]
He is a long-standing supporter of a United Ireland, inviting Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams to London in 1984.[17][18] He is a prominent Amnesty International member. He campaigned for the trial of the late former Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet.
Jeremy Corbyn announced in December 2006 that he was considering running for the Labour party deputy leadership to provide an anti-war candidate[19] but later changed his mind.
Corbyn has been a long-time campaigner on animal rights issues. He was one of the signatories to Tony Banks' "Pigeon Bombs" Early Day Motion[20] and in 2015 signed a motion calling for a ban on the importation of foie gras into the United Kingdom[21] and was a sponsor of a motion opposing the Yulin Dog Meat Festival.[22]
He was also a signatory to Michael Meacher's Climate Change Early Day Motion,[23] in stark contrast to his brother, weather forecaster Piers Corbyn's views on climate change.
He has campaigned against the Gaza–Israel conflict and promotes the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. He is also a Venezuelan solidarity activist[24] 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.[25] He has been a sponsor of the March for Homes.[26]
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".[27]
Political and community organisations
Jeremy Corbyn is Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Committee (APPC) on the Chagos Islands, Chair of the APPC on Mexico, Vice-Chair of the APPC on Latin America and Vice-Chair of the Human Rights APPC. He is also a Member of the Bolivia, Britain-Palestine, Great Lakes, Dalits, Cycling, International Parliamentary Union and Traveller Law Reform groups. He is a patron of Centre 404, a service for those with educational disabilities, Islington Music Forum, Refugee Therapy Centre and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. He is also Chair of Dalit Solidarity Campaign and Liberation the anti-racism and anti-imperialism organisation. He is the joint president of the Islington Pensioners Forum. He is a trustee of Socialist Campaign Group, Hanley Crouch Community Association and the Highbury Vale and Blackstock Trust.
A member of a number of union groups in Parliament, Corbyn is sponsored by several trade unions, such as Unison, National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers and Unite, and is a committed anti-fascist having spoken at the Unite Against Fascism and Barking and Dagenham TUC anti-British National Party rally in December 2001 and also speaking at the organisations annual conference in 2007 attacking the record of the media and calling for a No Platform of the BNP.
Rebellion
Since 2005 Jeremy Corbyn has defied the whip 238 times (25% of the time),[28] 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.[29]
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".[30] He achieved the 35th nomination required to be present on the ballot just before the noon deadline on 15 June 2015.[31]
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'[32] 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.[33]
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.[34]
Also in 2013, he was awarded the Gandhi International Peace Award.[35]

| 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 |
