Sweet corn, artichokes and neatly strimmed paths – the Labour leader’s veg patch is a leafy, undressed salad of clues to the man and his mission
Photographs of Jeremy Corbyn’s allotment, which helps him achieve his calm “Monsieur Zen” demeanour, have been publicised for the first time. But what do Jez’s veggies tell us about his politics? As a Westminster journalist and a fellow allotmenteer, I endeavoured to carry out my own leek inquiry.
Corbyn’s allotment, in East Finchley, north London, has a gentle slope and open aspect, perfect for vegetable and fruit growing. It looks like an idyllic place to get away from election din. For someone criticised for being scruffy, the Labour leader keeps his paths surprisingly well strimmed. But does that road lead to Downing Street?
