JEREMY CORBYN, the former leader of the Labour Party and now independent Member of Parliament, received a personal invitation to attend the October 1 inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first Jewish and first female president. He accepted.
“What does that tell you?” Corbyn asked about his invitation, entirely rhetorically, when we spoke during his recent People’s Forum. Corbyn will attend the event with his wife, Laura Alvarez, who is Mexican.
