"this is taken from Labour Briefing magazine, back in December 1984, were you general secretary on the editorial board at the time that was published?"

Corbyn: "No, I wasn't even a member of the editorial board."

Here's the overwhelming evidence which proves he's a liar. 1/14

'Briefing was launched in February 1980 with a core editorial team of Ted Knight, Jeremy Corbyn & two Chartists, Chris Knight & Graham Bash.'

In December 1980, Jeremy Corbyn launched the 'Target 82' campaign in Briefing' (Councils in Conflict, pp.16-17) 2/14

'Target 82's guiding light is Mr Jeremy Corbyn, its convener... Mr Corbyn & colleagues from his political base, Harringey, are among the editors of the London left's house journal, the monthly London Labour Briefing'
(Times, 1 Dec 1981) 3/14

London Labour Briefing... Its guiding spirit is Mr Jeremy Corbyn, aged 31, Briefing's founder'

Note again Graham Bash (Jackie Walker's partner) he's still (38 years later) an editor of Labour Briefing (& JVL, LRC etc.)
