Biography

One of the most surprising endorsements for Corbyn at the 2017 general election came from the heavy metal magazine "Kerrang!", which put him on the front cover.

He was part of a 1987 campaign to reverse a decision made by Islington Council allowing the sale of West London Synagogue's cemetery to property developers.

As Labour leader, he lost two consecutive general elections, in 2017 and 2019. In the second, Labour won the fewest seats since 1935 and lost many of their traditional constituencies to Boris Johnson's Conservative Party, who were promising to "Get Brexit Done", while Corbyn was promising a second referendum.

His period as leader of the Labour Party saw the collapse of the "Red Wall".

He has been the Member of Parliament for Islington North since 1983.
