Jeremy Bernard Corbyn (/kɔːrbɪn/; born 26 May 1949) is a British politician who is the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition. He has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington North since 1983 and was elected Labour Leader in 2015. Ideologically, he identifies as a democratic socialist.
Born in Chippenham in Wiltshire, Corbyn attended Adams' Grammar School and later North London Polytechnic without attaining a degree. Before entering politics he worked as a representative for various trade unions. His political career began when he was elected to Haringey Council in 1974 and later was secretary of the Islington Constituency Labour Party (CLP). He continued in both roles until he entered the House of Commons as an MP.
Corbyn has received awards for his work as an international human rights campaigner. As an MP he is known for his activism and rebelliousness, frequently voting against the Labour whip when the party was in government under New Labour leaders Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Corbyn advocates an anti-austerity platform of reversing austerity cuts to public sector and welfare funding made since 2010, proposing preventing tax evasion and avoidance by corporations and wealthy individuals, reducing corporate subsidies, and pursuing an invest-to-grow economic strategy as an alternative. He proposes renationalisation of public utilities and the railways, abolishing university tuition fees, and financing "People's Quantitative Easing" to fund infrastructure and renewable energy projects. A longstanding anti-war and anti-nuclear activist, Corbyn supports a foreign policy of military non-interventionism and a unilateral policy of nuclear disarmament. Corbyn is a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Amnesty International and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). He was the national chair of the Stop the War Coalition from June 2011 until September 2015.
Asked about using nuclear weapons, Mr Corbyn says: "I think the idea of anyone ever using a nuclear weapon is utterly appalling."He says as prime minister he would be "working to avoid that". He highlights other threats - cyberwarfare, terrorist attacks like Manchester, "globally ungoverned spaces like Libya" and environmental disasters. Pressed about whether or not he would ever use nuclear weapons, he says he wouldn't fire nuclear weapons first.
"We are not looking to do deals with anybody, we are not forming a coalition government" Jeremy Corbyn says during Question Time.

Corbyn, Trots and Claudia Webbe After watching a Channel 4 News interview I was so appalled by the blatant use of Neuro Linguistic Programming and devious production techniques, I just had to break it down and show people how these news programs can skew interviews and relay their own political agendas over and above the messages that their guests are there to relay. Sometimes politicians can find themselves in a “Media Hijack” situation, this is an example of just that. Even though it’s well known that there is a certain amount of media hostility towards the current Labour Leader, I doubt that NEC member Claudia Webbe was prepared for this level of abuse from Channel 4 News and the host Cathy Newman. I have some experience producing and directing live broadcast TV and I can tell you wit...

Believe it or not, this slug is actually running for London mayor, in the year of 2015. He may actually be the first case, in recorded history at least, of a pussy reverting back into a slug! Hitchslap!

Glenn Greenwald has famously defended Galloway's honour before the world court of opinion on his "alleged" connections with dictators, and even Cenk Uygur has even said that he is "a great man".
