It is widely known that Jeremy Corbyn, a prolific signer of Early Day Motions in Parliament, has many important issues close to his heart. Early Day Motions, or EDMs, are motions submitted by MPs for debate in the House of Commons. They are put forward in order to generate interest and support for a particular cause or event, even though the majority of them will never be formally debated. The EDMs gathered here today are more than likely to have fallen into the latter category.
