Supporters
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour MP for Islington North and Leader of the Labour Party since 2015, is a well-known long-time supporter of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. In July 2016, in the midst of a leadership challenge and on the day that Theresa May was appointed leader of the Conservative Party, Corbyn surprised reporters by going to address the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. He was criticised by those who "pointed out the Cuban regime’s record on human rights was poor and included imprisoning trade unionists." Following the death of Cuban leader Fidel Castro in November 2016, Corbyn said "Fidel Castro’s death marks the passing of a huge figure of modern history, national independence and 20th century socialism."
