Jeremy Corbyn Net Worth Spear's Please select a featured image for your post 3 Jeremy Corbyn Net Worth : £3 million Change : please log in to view this image £26,792 - % 0.9 (Last Updated: 10.01.20 ) Politician British politician who has been the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn has an estimated net worth of up to £3 million. Born in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England on May 26, 1949 to Naomi Loveday and David Benjamin Corbyn, Corbyn is the youngest of four sons. Corbyn was educated at Castle House School before attending Adams’ Grammar School in Shropshire as a day student. As well as school, he became active in The Wrekin constituency young socialists, his local labour party and the League Against Cruel Sports. In 1966 he joined the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and later became one of its three vice-chairs. He joined the labour party at the age of 17 and left school at 18 achieving two E-grade A-levels. After school, Corbyn worked shortly as a reporter for a local newspaper, the Newport and Market Drayton Advertiser. Around the age of 19, he spent two years doing Voluntary Service Overseas in Jamaica as a youth worker and geography teacher. He briefly attended North London Polytechnic before pursuing a career as a left-wing political activist. By the age of 25 (1974), he was elected in 1974 Haringey Borough Council and soon began working for the National Union of Public Employees. He would have been receiving around £4,500 a year as an MP this number has now risen significantly. Over the years, his £4,500 salary rose to £8,000, then to £15,000. As of this year Corbyn is now earning £137,000 as his salary. He is famous for living a simple life. As he claims the position as MP, and Labour leader £74,962 and £62,440 goes into his account yearly. Together this makes over £137,000. Over 30 years, he has claimed over £3 million from the state alone. This is £1.5 million more than a normal MP. Once he retires, he’s set to earn £1.6 million pension.

So what are we saying? They're not allowed to be wealthy? That's completely missing the point, either intentionally or not. If you earn money then of course you're allowed it, so long as you pay tax properly, which many don't. In 2010 his expenses amounted to £8.70 ffs while some MP's were expensing the most ridiculous stuff. If you're going to criticise him simply for being rich then that is complete bias right there.
Clever fella this, he didn't earn his wealth, he claimed it and a pension of £1.6m to boot. 'Over 30 years, he has claimed over £3 million from the state alone. This is £1.5 million more than a normal MP. Once he retires, he’s set to earn £1.6 million pension.'
Disgraceful Socialism and playing the system at the top end is clearly alive and well as bcfcredandwhite says
The last paragraph of the article , it also states ,'This is £1.5 million more than a normal MP' but of course this is more newspaper nonsense https://www.spearswms.com/jeremy-corbyn-net-worth/
That entire paragraph is talking about his total salaries. He might well have earned £1.5m more than a normal MP but that's because he's been an MP for nearly 40 years. Sorry wiz but it clearly is newspaper nonsense. Bright as day. He didn't 'claim £3m from the state', that's what he was paid for being an MP. So when you wrote further up the page that he 'didn't earn his wealth', you actually mean that he did. When I do my job I don't 'claim' my salary. It's hating on Corbyn just because it's Corbyn I'm afraid.
You may think so but why should I believe you who has no knowledge apart from belief and faith in Corbyn and his circumstances or an experienced authorised journalist, who has gathered the facts and detail which is then put into print in the public domain (Not a newspaper) and subject to law that he has claimed £3m from the state alone. It's a no brainer to me.

Because it's in the actual article. They've written it, not me. Do I have to quote it? It's clearly talking about his total salary over the near 40 years. If not, what is it claiming the money is from? If it can't even tell you how he claimed it then what does that tell you? Add to that that the magazine is owned by William Cash, son of Brexiteer Tory MP Bill Cash... In fact, just here you can find an entire thread debunking that nonsense article you've quoted. Point 1 if you'd like to see the rationale behind why that figure they've quoted is not only a lie (he didn't 'claim' it, he earned it), it's also grossly over exaggerated. Point 3 also debunks the pension bit for good measure. After literally years of this sort of crap it's no wonder people actually believe some of the frankly bizarre stuff about Corbyn. It's convincing, even if utterly false. And yet again, I don't even think he's a good politician, it's mad that I have to defend him. But the lengths to which the public have been duped time and again are mystifying. What's the phrase... sh*t sticks? Well it certainly has done in this case. A terrorist and a Czech spy, and now a £3m benefit claimant, come on...
The point being made is he is a multi millionaire, pretending to be a poor little soul doing his shopping in charity shops, when he has claimed over £3m for his sevices and expenses, which is at least £1.5m more than a normal MP and teed up a nice pension valued at £1.6m. He is nothing but a posh, Islington bubble, million pound house owner, "Champagne Socialist" hypocrite.
He didn't 'claim' £3m. That's what he's earned for being an MP. And it's only £1.5m more than a 'normal' MP (what does this even mean) because he's been an MP far longer than most. So will have earned more over time. I guarantee you wouldn't apply the same criticism to every other MP simply for earning their wage, so why do you do it to him? It's inherently biased. The supposed author 'Rebecca Cameron' is not present anywhere online and hasn't written any other articles. Wouldn't be surprised if she didn't even exist - it was just a 'source' that the tabloids needed to print their smear.
It boils down to what you believe in, you believe that this man is a useless leader but a principled man, who is nice, tries to do the right thing, is refreshing politics but is a bit crap, his reputation and what people judge him by is caused by a smear campaign, regardless of truth by the right wing press. The fact is this old man is a veggie, buys his clothes from charity shops proves what a nice character he is and the poor old chap suffers from misinformed criticism which is inherently based. I believe that the man is anti - semitic, marxist, Hamas, Hezbollah, IRA supporter, sympathises with left wing despots such as Castro, Chevez, Putin and all their murderous ilk, he is a proven multi millionaire, who uses charity shops for self egotistical and publicity reasons, he lives in the metro Islington bubble in a £1m plus property, has a proven £3m pound plus value and a £1.6m pension pot to retire with. I believe in freedom of the press and agree with you there are strong campaigns and misinformation that eminate from both the right and left wing press, unlike you I think the British puplic are wise and intelligent enough to form an honest, balanced opinion on news supply and make an honest judgement, hence the reasom Corbyn and his crowd got Labour booted out resoundingly at the recent elections. Let's agree to disagree and swiftly move on.
Slightly related to this - but not trying to stir things or wind anyone up; I'm sure that I read somewhere that PART of the reason Corbyn got elected as leader of the Labour party was due to CONSERVATIVES voting for him - did anyone else see this? Apparently, just before the leadership election, the Labour party opened its membership up, so you could join the party and get a vote for £1. The membership immediately took off in large numbers, but the suspicion is that a lot of the new members were, in fact, Tories, who invested their £1 with the intention of using their votes to elect Corbyn, because they saw him as being the least dangerous of all the candidates in opposition - basically sabotaging the vote to help the Conservatives. I don't suppose it would be possible to prove or disprove this, but I'm sure I read it somewhere...………(?)
