Jeremy Corbyn confirmed he will stand as an independent candidate in Islington North, highlighting policies not adopted by Labour or Conservatives, like rent controls and abolition of the two child benefits cap.
Corbyn was blocked from standing for Labour and suspended for remarks post the antisemitism report; will be expelled for standing against the party in the election, faced with announcing plans sooner due to snap election announcement.
Corbyn emphasizes keeping promises made to constituents, noting his personal vote in Islington North being significantly higher than the average constituency MP, criticizing Labour's decision to stop local members from shortlisting candidates.
