MP for Islington North
“A long-serving MP and former Labour leader who sits as an Independent, renowned for strong party loyalty but with a few notable recent rebellions.”
Jeremy Corbyn has represented Islington North since 1983. He served as Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Official Opposition from 2015 to 2020, and now sits as an Independent MP. He has held notable roles in Parliament, including time on the Justice and Social Security committees, reflecting a long political career beyond party leadership.
He shows very high party loyalty (99%) and moderate voting attendance (61%). He has a record of mixed votes on many issues, with clear leanings against tighter immigration and asylum controls, support for NHS funding and bus services regulation, and opposition to the Rwanda deportation scheme.
Declares 27 financial interests: 15 entries for gifts, benefits or hospitality from UK sources; 8 entries for visits outside the UK; and 4 miscellaneous entries.
