Jeremy Corbyn reveals his dearest wish is a £475 bicycle

What does everyone's favourite bearded MP travel on to pick up his croissants in the morning?

Apparently, it's a Raleigh bicycle, retailing at £475.

Jeremy Corbyn picked a red Raleigh bicycle, apparently similar to his own, in a column he penned for a special edition of Stylist magazine.

The Labour Leader revealed that the bicycle was his "ultimate object of desire".

It's unclear whether his own bicycle cost £475 - but the socialist MP did reveal that his bike is 'like' the one he recommended, and is also a red Raleigh, so it is likely it cost a similar amount.

He wrote: “I use my bike less frequently now that I’m leader of the Labour Party, but I still prefer to cycle whenever I can.

"Not only is it free, environmentally friendly and often the fastest way to travel, but it also gives the snappers outside my house a bit of variety.

"This aluminium-framed Raleigh Criterium, like my own trusty red Raleigh, is light and therefore fast, but comfortable for longer rides too – I recently rode mine with Olympic gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins (shameless namedrop) and it ensured I kept up with him.

"This unisex model is a great all-rounder whether you’re a beginner or looking for a new ride, although as I’m a big believer in repairing rather than replacing, I suspect I will have my own long after my leadership.”
