"Democracy is not just about voting every few years; it’s about people having real control over their lives."
Jeremy Corbyn is a British politician and current independent MP who served as the Labour party's leader from 2015 to 2020. Representing the constituency of Islington North since 1983, he was a vocal backbencher with a reputation of voting against his party until he was elected leader with the largest party membership for a generation. He contested the 2017 general election and won 40% of the vote, the largest Labour share since 2001.
Since he has been expelled from the Labour party, Jeremy has gone on to win his Islington seat as an independent. His views place him firmly on the progressive left where he is staunchly anti-war, anti-austerity, pro nationalisation and pro-Palestine.
