Jeremy Corbyn has won a peace prize for his work on promoting nuclear disarmament.
The 68-year-old Labour leader picked up the Sean MacBride Peace Prize from the International Peace Bureau in Geneva, Switzerland.
He was commended for lobbying to cut military spending and for his work with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Stop the War Campaign.
The prize is named after Mr MacBride, who joined the IRA aged 13 and fought with them, after his father was executed following the Easter Rising of 1916.
Dave Webb, vice-chair of the IPB board, said of Mr Corbyn: “He didn’t go back on his stance, like some politicians have in the past. He was elected and stuck to his position about being not prepared to push the nuclear button. That was a significant act for a politician on his level.
“It’s easy to speak your mind as an activist. When you’re a political leader it’s much more difficult – but he had the courage to say what he meant and felt.”
