Jeremy Corbyn: Who is he? (Profile + Interview)

The UK's Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn was a 200/1 outsider in the Labour leadership contest two years ago. He defied those odds to win and now he is in the race to be next Prime Minister in the UK's general election. And many say the odds are stacked against him again.
According to his devoted supporters, his idealism is exactly what the country needs. But to his detractors, he’s made Labour simply unelectable. So who is he, what motivates him and what’s the future of the Corbyn project?
And we also spoke to him about his foreign policy - asking him: When in the last half century has British-backed military action been necessary?

The fact that you're comparing Norway's economic model to Marxism-Leninism and Hugo Chavez, a revolutionary socialist, to Jeremy Corbyn shows you dont know shit.

[@gmon6321]

nice meme man. If you're referring to the fact that his wages are paid by tax payers, do you dislike policemen for the same reason? We choose to pay them because they have to work full-time to do the job properly. If we didn't, how would anyone but the richest people be MPs anyway? Or would you rather be represented by a guy who juggles the running of the country with working full time down some office somewhere so he can support his family? He doesn't take money from the poor we happily give it to him because he's a representative of the people in parliament.

Say what you will about Corbyn but he isn't a snake who changes his mind on big issues such as brexit (ahem Theresa May) just to be leader. I was dubious for a long time but he has my vote because at least his campaign is focused on policy.

[@alitier3122]

Exactly. He's been in politics for a long time, has a good knowledge of the history of what works well and what doesn't and has clear goals for what could make effective policy. He's the one to vote for.

[@sambishop3211]

If only more voters were voting based on policy rather than some perception of his personality or blatant lies about him.

[@berserkerphil907]

Sadly Sam, most of those "lies" are actually the truth. It's just that his supporters choose to ignore his rather tainted past. Supporting Hezbulah, The IRA and other terror organisations is not something to brush under the carpet. And now that he wants to be friends with NATO beggars belief! Only six years ago he accused it of being the single most dangerous organisation on the planet. But, like most newer Labour supporters, you pretend he's nice, fluffy and sincere. If it makes you feel warm inside then I'm pleased for you.

[@DaProHobbit]

You mean the man who had been very anti-EU all his career who then changed to remain, just to please his party, before going back to Leave after the referendum when his poor cover was clearly blown? Yeah, he totally doesn't change his mind about big issues like Brexit, just to be leader...
