Jeremy Corbyn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Every leader of the opposition becomes a Privy Councillor and Jeremy Corbyn will be no exception, even if he is\u00a0a life-long republican and joining involves kneeling before the Queen.<\/p>\n

The Privy Council’s role is to advise the Queen in carrying out her duties, such as the exercise of prerogative powers and other functions assigned to them by Acts of Parliament, we understand.<\/p>\n

But the Council is also privy to highly-classified security information and matters that frankly us ordinary folk never get to know about.<\/p>\n

It’s quite an exclusive club.<\/p>\n

Today it was reported that Mr Corbyn had another appointment which meant he could not attend today’s meeting. \u00a0It’s been big news<\/a><\/strong>, but no-one should interpret his absence as a snub. \u00a0Out of six hundred members, fewer than a dozen normally attend, although, as leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, Mr Corbyn should be there in future.<\/p>\n

Each person asked to be a privy councilllor takes this oath (or an affirmation version of it, is they object to Almighty God. \u00a0The candidate is asked, in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen:<\/p>\n

\n

You do swear by Almighty God to be a true and faithful Servant unto the Queen’s Majesty, as one of Her Majesty’s Privy Council. You will not know or understand of any manner of thing to be attempted, done, or spoken against Her Majesty’s Person, Honour, Crown, or Dignity Royal, but you will lett and withstand the same to the uttermost of your Power, and either cause it to be revealed to Her Majesty Herself, or to such of Her Privy Council as shall advertise Her Majesty of the same. You will, in all things to be moved, treated, and debated in Council, faithfully and truly declare your Mind and Opinion, according to your Heart and Conscience; and will keep secret all Matters committed and revealed unto you, or that shall be treated of secretly in Council. And if any of the said Treaties or Counsels shall touch any of the Counsellors, you will not reveal it unto him, but will keep the same until such time as, by the Consent of Her Majesty, or of the Council, Publication shall be made thereof. You will to your uttermost bear Faith and Allegiance unto the Queen’s Majesty; and will assist and defend all Jurisdictions, Pre-eminences, and Authorities, granted to Her Majesty, and annexed to the Crown by Acts of Parliament, or otherwise, against all Foreign Princes, Persons, Prelates, States, or Potentates. And generally in all things you will do as a faithful and true Servant ought to do to Her Majesty. So help you God.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
