Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, has handed in his nomination papers to officially stand as an independent candidate in the upcoming general election.
Supporters gathered in Islington for Mr. Corbyn's launch, where he declared his intention to be a voice for equality, democracy, and peace.
Mr. Corbyn's victory as an independent candidate would complicate matters for current Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer who has distanced the party from left-wing elements.
Momentum, a left-wing group, criticized Starmer for preventing Corbyn from standing again and accused him of driving out socialist politics to favor elite interests.
