The labour leader, who is the MP for Islington North and leader of the opposition, has put politics aside to enjoy coffee at his local cafe, where he was joined for a photo by his delighted constituents.

He tweeted a photo of himself and the fans saying: "Britain's 5 million small businesses are the heart of our economy. Enjoying a coffee in my local cafe #SmallBizSatUK."

The latest test of his Labour Party after the Syria Air-strike Defeat in Parliament was the by-election for the safe seat of Oldham West and Royton, which the Labour candidate won with a 10,722-vote majority.

"This campaign shows just how strong our party is, and not just here in Oldham but all over the country" he had told the media after the win two days ago, adding  "It shows the way we have driven the Tories back on Tax Credit, on Police cuts, on their whole austerity agenda and narrative." 

"It shows just how strong and how deep routed and how broad, our party, the Labour party is, for the whole of Britain."
