The Labour leader has been on a spree of visiting religious organisations including the Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Southall followed by breaking the Ramadan fast at Regents Park Mosque on 20th May, Monday.

Amidst European elections, Jeremy Corbyn was seen visiting the Gurudwara on a campaign trail where he served food to the worshippers and spoke about the contributions of the Sikh community to the British society.

“Sikhs provide a hot meal to anyone who comes through their door. People of all faiths and none, the homeless and the hungry. Langar kitchens are a display of compassion and unity that we can all learn from. Delighted to help out at Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara in Southall today,” he tweeted.

Corbyn had earlier visited the Gurudwara, in his labour constituency while on the campaign trail two years ago after Boris Johnson's visit to the Gurudwara in Bristol in 2017 where he had made an offensive gaffe about 'alcohol' consumption.

Boris Johnson, UK's next PM?

But aside from European elections, it seems that the former foreign secretary is likely to oust Theresa May out of 10 Downing Street with the YouGov poll for The Times suggesting that Johnson was the first choice of almost one-in-four party members. Pollsters suggest that he has a massive lead over his nearest rival Brexiteer Dominic Raab, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Sajid Javid, Andrea Leadsom, Matt Hancock and Rory Stewart are all trailing way behind on single figures.
