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

Prior to entering politics, Corbyn worked as a representative for various trade unions. His political career began when he was elected to Haringey Council in 1974; he later became Secretary of Hornsey Constituency Labour Party, and continued in both roles until he was elected as MP for Islington North.

As a backbench MP he was known for activism and rebelliousness, frequently voting against the Labour whip, including when the party was in government under New Labour leaders Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. As Labour leader, Corbyn advocates reversing austerity cuts to public services and welfare funding made since 2010, and proposes renationalisation of public utilities and the railways. A longstanding anti-war and anti-nuclear activist, Corbyn supports a foreign policy of military non-interventionism and unilateral nuclear disarmament. He was the national chair of the Stop the War Coalition and a member of the Socialist Campaign Group until his election as leader of the Labour Party.

After Labour's defeat in the 2015 general election and the resignation of Ed Miliband, Corbyn announced his candidacy for the Labour leadership. Although he was regarded as a fringe hopeful in the leadership election—having only just secured 35 nominations from fellow Labour MPs to be placed on the ballot—Corbyn quickly emerged as the leading candidate in opinion polls and secured the support of the majority of trade unions affiliated to Labour. He was elected Labour party leader in September 2015, with a first-round vote of 59.5%.

After the EU referendum in June 2016, Labour MPs passed a vote of no confidence in Corbyn by 172 votes to 40 following the resignation of around two-thirds of Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet. In September 2016, following a leadership contest, Corbyn retained leadership of the party with an increased vote share of 61.8%. In the snap 2017 general election, Labour under Corbyn again finished as the second largest party in parliament, but increased their share of the popular vote to 40%, resulting in a gain of 32 seats, and a hung parliament. Labour's 9.6% vote swing was its largest since 1945. ... (more)
