Corbyn backed

News in Brief

Labour party activists in Islington North, in London, have backed former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Corbyn is a member of the Labour party but not a Labour MP, as a result of decisions made by the current Labour leadership – which has also barred him from running as a Labour MP in the next election.

A motion ‘thanking Mr Corbyn for his “commitment and service to the people who have a democratic right to select our MP” was endorsed by a whopping 98 per cent of local [Labour party] members at their monthly general meeting’, the Morning Star reported on 18 May.
