MP Jeremy Corbyn as Santa with six-year-old Jordan Darwish
Christmas party political! MP becomes Santa for the day at leisure centre
AN unusually political Santa Claus entertained more than 200 children at the Isledon Village Christmas party. Islington North MP Jeremy Corbyn donned the white beard, red suit and black belt to transform into a jolly Father Christmas at the party at the Sobell Leisure Centre in Hornsey Road.
The children enjoyed an afternoon of magic tricks, balloon sculptures and lots of dancing as they stayed in to avoid the wet Saturday afternoon.
The Christmas party was organised by a group of residents from Isledon Village, Holloway, with support from Family Mosaic and Asra Housing Associations.
