^ Oh a quiz. I love quizzes.

I would have guessed Tom Watson as he was the deputy leader under Corbyn.

But after checking (because I cheat a lot) it turns out that the previous one was someone called Ian Lavery. Watson was before him.

^ Ah yes Ian Lavery who was General Secretary of The National Union of Mineworkers before he was an MP. He received £165,000 when the union had 10 members. Part of it was a loan used to buy a property which was never repaid and the Union wrote it off. The Union also received £1.6m from the compensation fund used to pay sick miners. It was reported that £800,000 of this found it’s way to Lavery.

Senior NUM Officials and dubious property deals? Surely not!

best pal of Corbyn as well
