Like Mr Corbyn, she has been an outspoken critic of many of her own party’s policies over the almost 30 years since she became the first black woman to be elected to the House of Commons.
Corbyn said he did not want to give Cameron a “blank cheque” on negotiations, and was concerned that the prime minister could opt out of workers’ rights agreements and environmental protection.
During the leadership campaign, Mr Lewis wrote to Bury Labour Party members and said: “Some of Mr Corbyn’s stated political views are a cause for serious concern”. He even turned the tables on Labour MPs when they heckled one of his answers, saying “I thought this was the “new question time”.
When asked by the BBC if he would take part in the ceremonial tradition of kneeling before the Queen, as is incumbent on the leader of the Opposition and soon-to-be member of the Privy Council, Corby equivocated.
In a statement Ms Berger said she believed Mr Corbyn was “willing to listen and engage”. “I want to see something different”.
In frontbench exchanges which lasted longer than normal, Mr Corbyn read out queries from Marie, Steven, Paul, Claire, Gail and Angela on various issues.
But in a positive move, Corbyn has created a shadow minister for mental health – a position with no opposite number in the government. “But the Jewish community was also very concerned about his seeming partiality towards Hamas and Hezbollah, which are both proscribed terrorist organizations”.
“I do have fundamental differences with Jeremy on areas like Europe and defence but I think Politics had got a bit tiresome and I do welcome the debate that has come out of the leadership election”.
“Jeremy Corbyn’s biggest strength is his principles and his principles are not to sing the national anthem but to stand in respectful silence”.
Another possible scenario for the vote on bombings in Syria is that right-wing Labour parliamentarians might revolt against Corbyn and support Cameron, Alan Sked said.

Time will tell whether or not Jeremy Corbyn is a flash in the pan, but so far it seems that his approach, a new take on direct democracy, is already having a significant impact.
