TM and THAT dress

There are also quite a few very nice photos of the pair of them together, but you won't find them in the Sun, Express, Mail or Telegraph.

Date of the Mirror piece should also be 12 June.

According to the Sun (12 Jun 2017) "she scrapped her career in the financial industry and became an importer of fair trade coffee beans." www.thesun.co.uk/news/3752052/laura-alvarez-jeremy-corbyn-third-wife/

Coffee -
Harpers Bazaar(1 Jun 2017) says "In June 2013, she set up a company importing coffee and chocolate from Mexico. The beans are organic and Fairtrade to ensure that the workers are paid well and treated justly." www.harpersbazaar.co.uk/culture/culture-news/news/a41834/laura-alvarez-jeremy-corbyn-profile/

But the Mirror (www.mirror.co.uk ) says ^"Ms Alvarez, 48, runs a Fair Trade company importing coffee from Mexico but faced embarrassment when the meagre wages paid to some of the farmers producing the coffee were exposed. "http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/who-jeremy-corbyns-wife-laura-10392461"

The source of the "meagre wages" seems to be the Daily Mail (15 Aug 2015) Other papers repeat it.

Seems she has many personas, like her husband

I didn't think she was a human rights lawyer Jalima I thought she was a coffee importer.

Beg her pardon:
Miriam González Durántez


Corbyn's wife has kept so much out of the limelight that I didn't realise that she is a human rights lawyer; seems at odds with her company paying less than the minimum wage to the coffee growers if that is true.
Put your own house in order .....

I don't care one way or the other, women I worked with used their maiden names at work.

Iam64 It may have started off like that but Nick Clegg's wife certainly did not shy from publicity eventually.
sorry, should use her own name but can't remember it and am in a rush.

Gilly

I have had so many surnames I've lost count.

I have no problem with women taking their husbands surnames, when there are children I would want to share the name with them.

Cherie Blair is also known as Cherie Booth professionally. By the way whatever has happened to her? I would have bet on her getting a seat in the Lords.

Emily Thornberry stopped using her married name when she became an MP, I suppose Lady Ugee MP doesn't fit comfy with a labour MP

Mrs Corbyn is a bit of an odd one I think. 20 years younger than Jeremy and his 3rd wife (she must like the old sea dog look) she keeps well out of the limelight having turned down the invitation to appear alongside her husband on The One Show and an invitation for a banquet with the queen. Now it could be that she is a very private person and prefers to stay out of the spotlight, although as a coffee importer business woman I can't see that ? Or it could be that she could be easily encouraged or tricked into saying something he wouldn't like to be made public?Or could it be that he might not want her to be asked about selling her imported coffee at £10 a jar which was grown by Mexican farmers paid less than the countries minimum wage?

Whatever it is that attracts her to him I can't imagine them standing side by side outside number 10 waving politely for the cameras.

Anyway really who cares.

Think you are right there Iam64. To those who chose not to take Hubby's surname, its not a big deal. In this day and age its a bit outdated anyway. ( although I am divorced and have kept my married surname - perverse)
Back to politics.

I don't believe that Nick Clegg's wife (whose name I can't recall at the moment) sought publicity for not 'wanting to be known as Mrs Clegg'. It was something the media picked up on as a means to criticise her and paint her as part of that monstrous regiment of women who don't see why they should become Mrs x when they marry. I'm one of them and I'm surprised its still seen as an issue by some.

Or perhaps she's just too busy working as a human rights lawyer.

There is rather a lot in the internet relating to her - 2013- paying Mexican farmers rather low wages

or from him and his shell suit
or perhaps she just doesn't do allotments

Perhaps she's trying to distance herself from him and his politics...

Mrs Clegg started off like that too, but has used the fact that she doesn't like to be known as Mrs Clegg to court a lot of publicity for herself.

At least Mrs Corbyn is sticking to what she believes in.

I rather like the fact that Ms Corbyn (does she actually use his name?) isn't a fan of publicity, doesn't see her role as anything other than being herself.

what about those hardly-able-to-see-them trainer socks - are they allowed in white?
Please?

To be fair to Mrs coffee Corbyn would you want to be seen in public with a sock, sandal and shorts man ?

Two things - firstly I must apologise to trashier, see - my predictive B text did it again but at least I noticed this time. Trisher, I'm sorry for the way my lap top spelled your name but mostly, for not having noticed it.

Secondly - Petra white socks are always extremely off putting. You are not alone.
