Daily Mail  

Jeremy Corbyn is at the center of a major Labour row more than four years after he quit as party leader, after flouncing out to run as an independent at the July 4 election. Mr Corbyn had repeatedly dropped hints that he could run as an independent, a move that will kick off a bitter campaign in the north London constituency, where the local party remains loyal to him. Mr Corbyn, who repeatedly dropped hints that he could run as an independent, fired the start gun on what is expected to be a brutal internecine battle in north London, where many members of the Constituency Labour Party remain loyal to him. Mr Corbyn had a majority of 26,188 in his Islington North seat at the 2019 election when running as a Labour candidate, and was first elected to Parliament in 1983.
