PUT the politics of hope at the heart of the election, Jeremy Corbyn told his supporters as he officially launched his campaign to be re-elected in his Islington North constituency.

Pledging to be a voice for “peace, justice and socialism,” the former Labour leader told a packed rally that he would ensure that “those that are silenced are heard” and “those that are pushed aside are brought back in.”

He outlined his opposition to growing inequality, with “millions dependent on food banks just to get by” while “billionaires get richer.”
