Jeremy Corbyn, Ousted From Labour Party He Once Led, Wins Seat As Independent

Huff Post  

Jeremy Corbyn joins junior doctors on the picket line outside St Thomas' Hospital, London, on June 27. Jordan Pettitt - PA Images via Getty Images Jeremy Corbyn was reelected to his seat in the House of Commons as an independent in the U.K. general elections Thursday, running against the party he once led before he was ousted. Corbyn put together a last-minute campaign to defeat Labour candidate Praful Nargund in Islington North, the solidly left-wing London constituency that Corbyn, 75, has represented for over 40 years. “I couldn’t be more proud of my constituency than I am tonight and proud of our team that brought this result.” Younger people, local residents and well-known figures, including actor and comedian Rob Delaney, set out with a goal to knock on every resident’s door to make sure people knew that Corbyn was running as an independent candidate.
