MEMBERS of Jeremy Corbyn’s Constituency Labour Party called on Sir Keir Starmer to “respect the democratic mandate of Islington North constituents” after the Labour leader repeated threats to stop the MP standing for the party at the next election.

In an interview with the Sunday Express, Sir Keir said Labour “will be fielding a candidate in Islington North and it’s very difficult to see the circumstances in which that would be Jeremy Corbyn.”

Mr Corbyn has won the seat for Labour at every election since 1983, most recently in 2019 with 34,603 votes — a majority of 26,188.
