Campaigners call for more volunteers to help Corbyn’s general election bid
Supporters of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn outside Islington Town Hall, north London, after he handed in his nomination papers for the General Election on July 4, June 5, 2024
CAMPAIGNERS called for more volunteers to help Jeremy Corbyn’s election bid today as polling puts him neck-and-neck with Labour in Islington North.
The former Labour leader has been the constituency’s MP since 1983 but was banned from standing as the party’s general election candidate.
A campaign source for Mr Corbyn said: “There is a real risk of the Labour candidate sneaking a victory if supporters stay at home on the assumption that Jeremy can win without them.”
