The Labour Party has finally launched its selection process for the north London seat after the former leader was effectively barred from being its general election candidate.
Names have begun to emerge in what will likely be a tense and toxic contest to replace Jeremy Corbyn as the Labour Party's candidate for Islington North at the next general election. The party formally launched the process to select its candidate for the north London seat after months of uncertainty. Paul Mason, the former Channel 4 journalist, has confirmed he will seek the Labour nomination for the safe seat, as has transport author Christian Wolmar.
Mr Corbyn has been without the party whip - meaning he cannot sit as a Labour MP in the Commons - since 2020 following his response to a report into antisemitism within the party by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, which Sir Keir and his allies felt downplayed the significance of the problem while he was leader.
