About Jeremy Corbyn

Jeremy Bernard Corbyn (born 26 May 1949) is a British independent politician who was formerly Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition (September 2015–April 2020). He was first elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington North in 1983. At the July 2024 general election, he returned to parliament as an independent MP. An inquiry by the Equality and Human Rights Commission into Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party in October 2020 found the Party, under Corbyn's leadership, was responsible for unlawful acts of discrimination and harassment. In response to his statement asserting antisemitism had been overstated for political reasons, Labour suspended Corbyn from its parliamentary whip and he became an independent MP, eventually being barred as a candidate for the party in future. When Corbyn announced he was standing as an independent at the 2024 general election, his Labour Party membership was formally terminated under party rules.

Additional quotes by Jeremy Corbyn

In calling for the dismantling of Soviet stocks of chemical weapons, what action will the Minister take towards countries such as Iraq which have used chemical weapons in the recent past? Will he ensure that the maximum possible sanctions are taken against them to show our abhorrence of all chemical weapons wherever they are and by whomsoever they are used?

Far from there being a constant flow of resources and aid from northern countries to southern countries, the opposite is the case, and has been for most of the past 200 years. Colonialism was not about exporting civilisations; it was not about improving the lot of people in the poorest countries—it was driven by greed and avarice and a determination to control other people's lives. It was about ensuring that the work, the raw materials and the food of the poorer countries flowed out to the richest parts of the world. That is the legacy of colonialism and imperialism that we have to deal with today. I honestly believe that the role of the world's twin financial institutions, the International Monetary Fund and the World bank, is essentially to reassert that old-world order so that once more a minority of northern, predominantly rich countries dominate the majority of southern, predominantly poor countries.
