About Jeremy Corbyn – A rising star
“Jeremy Corbyn’s election in September 2015 as Labour leader, at the age of 66, counted as one of the biggest upsets in British political history.
Although Corbyn-led Labour lost the election on 12th December 2019, there is no doubt that that was due to feelings running high about Brexit, and not to do with social progress.
