Jeremy Receives His Discipline
I would prefer the UK to stay together, yes, but I recognise the right of people to take the decision on their own autonomy and independence. As Leader of the Opposition, Corbyn was one of the sponsors for the Constitutional Convention Bill , which was an attempt at codifying the UK's constitution , which has not been compiled into a single document. In October , Corbyn was one of MPs to sign a cross-party petition to Home Secretary Amber Rudd , which requested making it a criminal offence for opponents of abortion to hold protests outside of abortion clinics.
He also promised to allow abortion in Northern Ireland as well as same-sex marriage. Corbyn has previously been a left-wing Eurosceptic. Despite earlier comments during the leadership campaign that there might be circumstances in which he would favour withdrawal, [] in September , Corbyn said that Labour would campaign for Britain to stay in the EU regardless of the result of Cameron's negotiations, and instead "pledge to reverse any changes" if Cameron reduced the rights of workers or citizens.
In June , in the run-up to the EU referendum , Corbyn said that there was an "overwhelming case" for staying in the EU. In a speech in London, Corbyn said: In July , Corbyn said that Britain could not remain in the European Single Market after leaving the EU, saying that membership of the single market was "dependent on membership of the EU", although it includes some non-EU countries.
In October , Corbyn said that he would vote remain in another referendum. In , Corbyn said his main reason for not committing to remaining in the single market was freedom from EU rules on state aid to industry. He said the UK government should not be "held back, inside or outside the EU, from taking the steps we need to support cutting edge industries and local business".

One senior figure told The Times: If a Corbyn government implements his declared policies the level playing field mechanism will lead to increased costs for Britain to access the single market because of distortions caused by state aid. During the Falklands War , in a meeting of Haringey Council, Corbyn opposed a motion offering support to British troops sent to retake the islands, instead declaring the war to be a "Tory plot" and submitted an alternative motion that condemned the war as a "nauseating waste of lives and money".
Corbyn does not consider himself an absolute pacifist and has named the Spanish Civil War , the British naval blockade to stop the slave trade in the 19th century and the role of UN peacekeepers in the crisis in East Timor as justified conflicts. Corbyn has called for Tony Blair to be investigated for alleged war crimes during the Iraq War. Subsequently, Corbyn — who had voted against military action against Iraq — gave a speech in Westminster commenting: He further expanded both in the same piece, saying that "The collapse of the Soviet Union in , with the ending of the Warsaw Pact mutual defence strategy, was the obvious time for NATO to have been disbanded.
He was also criticised by George Robertson , former Labour Party defence secretary, who said "It beggars belief that the leader of the party most responsible for the collective security pact of NATO should be so reckless as to undermine it by refusing to say he would come to the aid of an ally".

He has since acknowledged that the British public do not agree with his beliefs that the UK should leave NATO, and instead intends to push for the organisation to "restrict its role". He said the "root of the crisis" lay in "the US drive to expand eastwards" and described Russia's actions as "not unprovoked".
We were pounding on the door of the alliance, demanding to be let in". Corbyn is a longstanding supporter of unilateral nuclear disarmament , [] [] although he has suggested a compromise of having submarines without nuclear weapons. Following the election of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections , Jeremy Corbyn said that he believes that President Trump is not offering solutions to problems, but simply being divisive. Corbyn has also criticised Trump's involvement in British politics, saying that it was "not [Trump's] business who the British prime minister is" following Trump's endorsement of Boris Johnson as a possible future leader.
Corbyn is a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign , [] campaigning against conflict in Gaza and what the organisation considers to be " apartheid in Israel ". I do support targeted boycotts aimed at undermining the existence of illegal settlements in the West Bank. At a meeting hosted by Stop the War Coalition in , Corbyn said he invited "friends" from Hamas and Hezbollah to an event in parliament, referred to Hamas as "an organisation dedicated towards the good of the Palestinian people," and said that the British government's labelling of Hamas as a terrorist organisation is "a big, big historical mistake.
He said that he does not condone the actions of either organisation: Does it mean I agree with Hezbollah and what they do? What it means is that I think to bring about a peace process, you have to talk to people with whom you may profoundly disagree … There is not going to be a peace process unless there is talks involving Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas and I think everyone knows that", he argued.
In Corbyn claimed that some speeches by British Members of Parliament are written by Israel using a "pre-prepared script. I'm sure our friend Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor wrote it. Because they all came up with the same key words While in Tunisia, Corbyn attended a commemorative service for victims of the Israeli air strikes on the PLO headquarters in Tunis.
In August , the Daily Mail reported, with pictorial evidence, that during the event, Corbyn had also attended a wreath-laying at the graves of Salah Khalaf and Atef Bseiso , [] both of whom are thought to have been key members of the Black September Organization behind the Munich massacre. Bseiso is also linked to the massacre. BBC News , on 15 August, showed in a report from inside the cemetery, that for the memorial for the victims, Corbyn would have stood in a designated confined covered area where all dignitaries typically stand during annual ceremonies, which also covers the graves of Bseiso and Khalaf.
He of course condemns that terrible attack, as he does the bombing.
In , Corbyn was criticised for having dinner with Marcus Papadopoulos, a prominent pro-Assad campaigner also known for denial of the Srebrenica massacre. In December , Papadopoulos had tweeted "There was no siege of Sarajevo, there was no genocide at Srebrenica and there was no massacre at Aleppo. Photographs of Jeremy with members of the public do not mean he endorses their views. In , Jeremy Corbyn signed a petition calling for the lifting of the ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam also known as the Tamil Tigers , which it referred to as the "supposedly terrorist Tamil Tigers", stating that "the Sri Lanka government is carrying out an undeclared war against the Tamil people who have been struggling for more than two decades for the legitimate right to self-rule" and calling for an end to aerial bombardment by the Sri Lankan government.
He expressed outrage particularly at the reports of the depopulation of Tamil areas of Eastern Sri Lanka and the relocation of Tamils, stating that denying Tamils the right to return home was in contravention of international law, as well as reports of systematic sexual violence. In , Corbyn released a video stating his "solidarity to stand with the Tamil community in the search for truth, justice, accountability and reconciliation", while the Labour Party reiterated its " full implementation of the UN Human Rights Councils resolution on Sri Lanka"; some Tamil activists interpreted the video to be a signal of Jeremy Corbyn's "support for Tamil self-determination".
Corbyn has called for the lifting of the sanctions on Iran as part of a negotiated full settlement of issues concerning the Iranian nuclear programme , and the starting of a political process to decommission Israel's nuclear arsenal. In January , after a United Nations panel ruled Saudi-led bombing campaign of Yemen contravened international humanitarian law, Corbyn called for an independent inquiry into the UK's arms exports policy to Saudi Arabia.
Corbyn and Hilary Benn wrote to David Cameron asking him to "set out the exact nature of the involvement of UK personnel working with the Saudi military". He said that a " humanitarian disaster is now taking place in Yemen. Corbyn has called for the suspension of arms sales to Saudi Arabia after opposition Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Corbyn is a longtime supporter of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign , which campaigns against the US embargo against Cuba and supports the Cuban Revolution.
Castro's achievements were many.
Labour leader was 'deeply upset’ by incident.
In , Jeremy Corbyn was one of the first Members of Parliament to raise the issue of Saddam Hussein 's Halabja chemical attack against the Kurdish people , at a time when Hussein was still an ally of the west. Firat News Agency reported in that, in a meeting organised by British Kurdish People's Assembly, Corbyn said that "if peace is wanted in the region, the Kurdish people's right to self-determination must be accepted. In August , London-based newspaper The Jewish Chronicle issued "seven questions regarding Corbyn's record on antisemitism" on its front page.
Der Spiegel described Corbyn as a human rights activist whose "political career has been characterized by a consistent stance against racism and intolerance" but following incidents of antisemitism "has done little to stem the tide and has even made the problem worse at times", dividing his supporters. This included being the coordinator and spokesperson against the National Front march from Ducketts Common , north London, in April ; he was the keynote speaker at the event's anniversary festival.
He has signed several parliamentary early day motions EDMs opposing antisemitism. In , he was the primary sponsor of an EDM condemning an attack on the Finsbury Park synagogue in his constituency in north London. Corbyn said that this took place before Eisen had made his views known publicly, and that he would not have associated with him had he known, [] [] although the Jewish Chronicle and the Daily Telegraph reported that Eisen's views were known about in and the Jerusalem Post noted that Eisen had written an article in entitled "My life as a Holocaust denier".
In March , it was reported that Corbyn and some of his office staff had been members of a closed Facebook group, 'Palestine Live', where antisemitic comments had been made. He then left the group, to which he had been added around Corbyn's spokesman said "he was added to this group without his knowledge".
Corbyn left the group following the reports. Corbyn posted a comment on Facebook in questioning the removal of a mural that had been painted on private property in London and removed by the local council following complaints from residents. Commenting on the event later in , Corbyn said that the ambassador had been "berated" by "Zionists" at the meeting who had not understood the "English irony" used by the Palestinian ambassador in his speech. They stated in the letter, "Your assertion that your attack on Jeremy Corbyn is supported by 'the vast majority of British Jews' is without foundation.
You speak only for Jews who support Israel, right or wrong. Jeremy Corbyn's parliamentary record over 32 years has consistently opposed all racism including antisemitism. In April , 82 "Jewish members and supporters of the Labour Party and of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership" wrote an open letter to The Guardian stating that they "do not accept that antisemitism is 'rife' in the Labour Party" and that "these accusations are part of a wider campaign against the Labour leadership, and they have been timed particularly to do damage to the Labour party and its prospects in elections in the coming week.
In March , the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council accused Corbyn of not tackling antisemitism, saying that Corbyn "is repeatedly found alongside people with blatantly anti-Semitic views, but claims never to hear or read them.
Again and again, Jeremy Corbyn has sided with anti-Semites rather than Jews". In April , "more than 40 senior academics" signed an open letter condemning media criticism of Corbyn's response to antisemitism, saying it was "framed in such a way as to mystify the real sources of anti-Jewish bigotry and to weaponise it against a single political figure just ahead of important elections. In July , three Jewish newspapers in Britain published an identical front page criticising Corbyn's handling of antisemitism and calling a Corbyn-led government an "existential threat to Jewish life" in Britain.
He said that some criticism of Israel may stray into antisemitism at times, but denied that all forms of anti-Zionism were inherently racist, and pledged to "root out antisemitism" within the party, [] [] saying: You do not do it in my name. You are not my supporters and have no place in our movement. Corbyn lives in Finsbury Park , Islington , north London.
In , he married Jane Chapman , a fellow Labour Councillor for Haringey and now a professor at the University of Lincoln ; [20] they divorced in Following a difference of opinion about sending their son to a grammar school — Corbyn opposes selective education — they divorced in after two years of separation, although Corbyn said in June that he continues to "get on very well" with his former wife. In his second oldest brother, Andrew Corbyn, a geologist, died of a brain haemorrhage in Papua New Guinea. Jeremy Corbyn went to Papua New Guinea, from where he travelled with the body to Australia, where his brother's wife and children were staying.
They contacted fellow Labour MP Tony Benn for assistance, who introduced them to Corbyn who met with the police on their behalf and spoke at fundraisers until the girl was located in Interviewed by The Huffington Post in December , Corbyn refused to say what his religious beliefs were, saying that they were a "private thing", while denying that he was an atheist.
He has said that he is 'sceptical' of having a god in his life. Media related to Jeremy Corbyn at Wikimedia Commons. Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn. Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry.

Jeremy Corbyn lays plans for Labour victory". Few MPs seem to attract as much trouble as Danczuk — or to take such delight in it. Brown lost the election and stepped down as leader. Danczuk took Rochdale from the Liberal Democrats by votes, and struck up such a friendship with Duffy that she opened his constituency office. A plaque commemorates the occasion. For his first two years in office, Danczuk kept a fairly low profile. Then, in May , he ignored the advice of his neighbouring MP, the late Jim Dobbin, and spoke out about the racial element of a series of sex-grooming cases in Rochdale, in which gangs of Asian men were found guilty of exploiting vulnerable white girls.
He also managed to effectively put a living Lib Dem in jail, reporting Chris Huhne to the police following rumours that he had asked his estranged wife, Vicky Pryce, to take his speeding points. Afer a noisy few months, he seems to be trying to rebrand himself as a more considered politician, rather than the go-to-guy for reporters needing someone to slag off the Labour party on deadline. Get Me Out of Here! Everyone who answered that afternoon knew who he was, however out of it some of them appeared. The following Monday she had changed her Twitter banner to a paparazzi shot of her lying on her back on a sun lounger, her magnificent breasts rising up from her peach bikini like two gleaming bowling balls.
I noted, in a perhaps unsisterly manner, that she appeared to be contradicting herself. She and Simon split in the summer, six weeks after he increased his majority by a spectacular 11, votes.
UK Labour acts to discipline Jewish MP for calling Corbyn ‘antisemite’ - Diaspora - Jerusalem Post
Normally very candid, he stumbles when I ask. Nazir chips in to rescue him: Two weeks before the breakup, the pair had given a bizarre interview to Camilla Long in the Sunday Times, during which both apparently ended up in tears. When he refuses to confirm this week what the money was for I tell him he is the only sitting MP to ask me if he would be paid for granting an interview.
The Guardian never pays for access. The split only served to raise the profile of both parties. When Simon snogged a young Labour councillor, year-old Claire Hamilton, on the dancefloor at Labour party conference in September, the kiss ended up on the front page of the London Evening Standard.
History is now repeating itself as the new couple post selfies online. Why do you do it, Simon, I ask. Some think he is a publicity-seeking rentagob more concerned with his own media profile than the future of his party. But Danczuk denies allegations of disloyalty. Tony Blair as leader never disciplined Jeremy for the attacks that he made on Tony. Why would Jeremy want to discipline me for speaking out and sharing my constructive comments on his leadership? I genuinely think this is a new kind of politics that is genuinely welcome. Jeremy is a breath of fresh air in allowing that debate to take place, in terms of reinvigorating the party.
