Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been expelled from the Labour Party after announcing his candidacy as an independent for Islington North in the upcoming general election. Corbyn, who led Labour from 2015 to 2020, had been suspended over comments downplaying the scale of antisemitism in the party. His independent bid poses a challenge for current Labour leader Keir Starmer, who has emphasized his commitment to eradicating antisemitism. Labour has selected entrepreneur Praful Nargund as their candidate for the seat, setting the stage for a highly watched contest.
