Jeremy’s Christmas . . . a really good apple juice followed by a four-mile jog
HIS policies may centre on lavish spending, but when it comes to Christmas Jeremy Corbyn prefers a more austere approach.
As a vegetarian, the 68-year-old avoided a traditional Christmas roast while, as his wife Laura Alvarez is Mexican, the family celebrated on Christmas Eve before a low-key December 25.
Mr Corbyn said that he starts Christmas Day off as he usually does – with a glass of apple juice. But he told political website Politico: ‘On Christmas Day, I make sure it is a particularly good one.’
After that, he said he likes to go for a threeor four-mile run on Christmas morning. He told the Daily Mirror that, as he goes through London parks, he often sees swimmers taking a Christmas morning dip.
He said: ‘They said do you fancy joining in, I said, “No no no.”’
