I am vegetarian. … I became one at 20 when I was working in a pig farm. I got attached to the pigs and I couldn’t stand the thought that they would have to go off to be slaughtered.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Because I've never had any higher education of any sort, I've never held in awe those who have had it or have a sense of superiority over those who don't.

We've got to stand up for what we believe in as a labour movement. And that means the party's membership needs to be even bigger so it becomes a genuinely mass organisation.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Taken slightly historically, the turning point in the E.U. was actually the Single European Act, the Thatcher/Maastricht-era stuff, which was turning the E.U. into very much a market system.
Jeremy Corbyn -
I understand the principles of dissent in parliament.
Jeremy Corbyn -
I am just an ordinary person trying to do an ordinary job.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Loyalty is about the party and the movement... if you want a better and more effective party, we've got to open ourselves up much more to our membership and our supporters.
Jeremy Corbyn -
To give everyone a house and garden is very difficult in urban areas.

Politically active people felt more and more disenfranchised, particularly during the ultra-New Labour years.
Jeremy Corbyn -
I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard.
Jeremy Corbyn -
After only two or three weeks in office, we discovered we had a backlog of 100,000 emails sent to me. We had a backlog of a thousand invitations to speak at places all over the country - and all over the world, for that matter.
Jeremy Corbyn -
In my own constituency, the benefit cap has had the effect of social cleansing: of people receiving benefit, but the benefit is capped; therefore, they can't meet the rent levels charged and are forced to move. It's devastating for children, devastating for the family and very bad for the community as a whole.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Some colleagues have said they would not be very keen on working with me, but I am sure these things were said in the heat of the moment.
Jeremy Corbyn -
You pay more in wages, get more in in tax, you get people living a higher standard, you get more money. It's a kind of circle.

I find if you are in an office, the crisis finds you. If you're not in the office, the crisis finds somebody else.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Quite simply, I maintained contact with Sinn Fein and believed that there had to be a political, not a military, solution to the situation in Northern Ireland.
Jeremy Corbyn -
We oppose the benefit cap. We oppose social cleansing. We will bring the welfare bill down by controlling rents and boosting wages, not by impoverishing families and socially cleansing our communities.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Riding a bicycle is the summit of human endeavour - an almost neutral environmental effect coupled with the ability to travel substantial distances without disturbing anybody. The bike is the perfect marriage of technology and human energy.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Basically, on the question of Europe, I want to see a social Europe, a cohesive Europe, a coherent Europe, not a free market Europe.
Jeremy Corbyn -
I think there's good in everybody.

What I remain opposed to is the idea that David Cameron could go around and give up workers' rights, give up environmental protection, give up a whole load of things that are very important.
Jeremy Corbyn -
Local authorities face huge housing issues with demands outstripping supply many times over; the only way those in housing need can be housed is in the private sector.
Jeremy Corbyn -
It is important that politicians defend their ability to act without fear or favour, and it is in the public interest that they hold ministers and public servants to account.
Jeremy Corbyn -
I'm not somebody with over-weening ambition.
