Jeremy Corbyn headed down to his local food bank to wrap presents for vulnerable children this Christmas.
The former Labour leader chipped in at Elizabeth House in Highbury and urged people to donate food and presents to make sure no one goes without this year.
It comes a year on from the general election which saw Boris Johnson secure a landslide victory on promises to ‘get Brexit done’.
He defeated one of the most ambitious Labour manifesto in generations which included promises to eradicate food bank use, rough sleeping and in-work poverty in Britain.
Corbyn told supporters that his administration should be “judged whether it changes people’s lives for the better after five years.”
“Judge us on whether in-work poverty still exists in five years’ time,” he will say. “Judge us on whether people are still sleeping rough after five years of a Labour government.”
