MP for Islington North
“A long-serving MP and former Labour leader who remains highly loyal in Parliament yet occasionally rebels on major legislation.”
Jeremy Corbyn has served as MP for Islington North since 1983. He is currently listed as Independent and previously led the Labour Party, serving as Leader of the Opposition from 2015 to 2020. His parliamentary career includes roles on the Justice Committee (2011-2015) and the Social Security Committee (1992-1997).
Corbyn shows very high party loyalty (99%) and a solid attendance rate, with 15 rebel votes. His voting record spans a mix of positions: generally against immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme, generally in favour of NHS funding and bus services regulation, and a varied pattern on Universal Credit, VAT, transgender rights, trade union powers and prison sentencing.
Declared financial interests include eight visits outside the UK, four miscellaneous entries, and three gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
