Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to stand as an independent candidate in Islington North in 4 July's general election. Mr Corbyn, who has represented the London constituency since 1983, was blocked from standing for Labour by the party's governing body.
His decision to run presents a headache for leader Sir Keir Starmer, exacerbating tensions between himself and MPs on the left of his party. Labour is selecting its own candidate, posing a challenge in what has been a safe seat.
