First elected to parliament in 1983, Jeremy Corbyn continues to enjoy representing Islington North, and served as Leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition from September 2015 to April 2020.
Jeremy writes, ‘Mine is a fascinating political and personal journey and I spend a great deal of time and energy focussed on anti-racism, anti-imperialism, LGBT+ rights, transport, the environment, opposition to nuclear weapons and military intervention, Trade Union policies, Miscarriages of Justice and more. My international interests are widespread with particular attention to human rights, peace and justice. I have travelled widely and continue to support those areas and communities affected by unresolved conflict including the Western Sahara, Chagos Islands, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Ireland, West Papua, the Dalit community, the Rohingya.
‘I was honoured to be awarded the 2017 Sean McBride Peace Prize and before that, (2013) the Gandhi International Peace Award.
Jeremy founded the Peace and Justice Project (PJP) in 2021. The PJP brings people together for social and economic justice, peace and human rights in Britain and across the world. Since its launch, the PJP has grown local, national and international campaigns. It connects people, communities and organisations through events and discussions on vital issues such as climate action, new economics and refugee protection. With more campaigns to be launched in future, the Peace and Justice Project will continue to work with labour and social movements and provide platforms to those campaigning towards a future that works for the many, not the few.
