Corbyn is seeking to extend his more than 40-year tenure as MP for Islington North as an Independent after Sir Keir banned him from standing for Labour
Jeremy Corbyn was greeted by cheers and chants of “Oh Jeremy Corbyn” from supporters as he left Islington Town Hall after handing in his nomination papers to officially stand at the General Election on July 4.
Mr Corbyn was suspended by Labour in 2020 after he refused to fully accept the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s findings that the party broke equality law when he was in charge and said antisemitism had been “dramatically overstated for political reasons”. “Regulation of the privatised utilities has not worked and never will work. Bring them back into public ownership.”He went on: “Globally I’m horrified by the loss of life in the wars in Yemen, in Congo, in Ukraine, and, of course, the current war going on in Gaza.
Arsenal fan Mr Corbyn was also asked by the PA news agency how trying to win Islington North as an Independent would rank in comparison to previous exploits by the Gunners, including the Invincibles team managed by Arsene Wenger and Michael Thomas’s last-minute winner to help them beat Liverpool to the title in 1989.
