British politician and socialist

Jeremy Corbyn is a British politician and socialist, born in 1949. He has served as the Member of Parliament for Islington North since 1983, and later became the parliamentary leader of Your Party, which he co-founded with Zarah Sultana in July 2025. Corbyn spent much of his career in the Labour Party, which he joined in 1965 and left after his automatic expulsion in 2024, following his decision to stand as an independent MP. He led both the Labour Party and the Opposition from 2015 to 2020, and was associated with the Socialist Campaign Group. His politics are rooted on the left, and his public voice is closely tied to that position.
