IF YOU’D asked me a few years ago if Jeremy Corbyn — who selflessly gave more than four decades of his life to the Labour party and the people of Islington North — would ever run as an independent candidate, I would have said of course not.
Because the party he gave his all to — almost up to the door of No 10 Downing Street — has since decided his loyalty, his passion, his hope for Islington North and for people across the country is not worth the respect and dignity he has shown to others, he has had to make a very difficult decision to stand to be the independent MP for Islington North.
Jeremy has put himself at the service of every constituent and has stood up for us since he was first elected 41 years ago. He’s been our beacon of hope and never ignored the needs of voters in Islington North, even when he was leader of the Labour Party.
