Jeremy Corbyn says he is ready to be Prime Minister tomorrow
He's leader of the opposition
He's been Labour leader for two years and now Jeremy Corbyn has given his first EVER interview with a women's magazine, exclusively to Grazia.
Jeremy spoke to Grazia's Anna Silverman to reveal his thoughts on the outcome of another election, his dress sense and THAT royal wedding!
Speaking exclusively to Grazia, the Labour leader reflected on the night of the general election back in June – where Labour took back an unpredicted 29 seats. He said, "there will probably be another election in the next 12 months" and revealed he feels quite confident about it saying, "I will probably win. I’m ready to be Prime Minister tomorrow."
During the interview, Jeremy also covered important topics such as Brexit and the sexual harassment scandal which has rocked Westminster. When it came to Brexit the Labour leader said, "Some were extremely irresponsible in what they did and said, but we have to recognise it was the largest participation of people in an electoral process ever in Britain and they chose to leave."
He added, "I thought there were some ridiculous and exaggerated claims made and I said so at the time." However, when he was asked about bringing about a second referendum he said, "I think we should continue putting pressure on the Government to allow a transition period to develop".
Talking about the sexual harassment allegations which have been reported to him he said, "We’re not dealing with huge numbers," adding, "We’re dealing with some cases and they are of course disturbing when you get them. I’m utterly determined all Labour Party events will be a safe place for women to go to."
Since becoming leader of the opposition Jeremy has become a ‘normcore’ fashion icon, known for wearing his 'normal looking' clothes, something he says not everyone likes. When asked about his style he said,
"I’d rate myself very, very low, OK? Listen, I’ve got prizes three years running for being the worst dressed in Parliament. I dress the way I want to dress."
He went on to explain that despite others wanting to change his dress sense he is happy the way he is saying, "People want to dress me differently but I just say no.”
The 68-year-old politician was also asked if he had received an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. And although it turns out he hasn't received an invitation he thinks very highly of Meghan saying, "She’s clearly a very decent person". He went on to say that he understands "weddings come pretty pricey", but he thinks the cost should be paid for by the family themselves.
This month’s Christmas issue of Grazia is on sale now and you can read more of his interview with the magazine here.
