FORMER Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has dropped his strongest hint yet that he will contest his London seat as an independent at the next general election.
The veteran socialist, who represents Islington North as an independent MP after being thrown out of the Parliamentary Labour Party in 2020, slammed both the Tories and Sir Keir Starmer’s increasingly right-wing opposition.
Faced with a choice between a “politics of incompetence and a politics of pessimism, the people of Islington North will look elsewhere for a vision worth voting for,” warned Mr Corbyn, who has held the seat for 40 years.
He told the Islington Tribune today: “How are the electorate meant to make sense of an opposition that, on one hand, insists the Tories have destroyed this country, yet on the other agrees with their method of destruction?
“Austerity will always be a war against the poorest in our society, no matter who wages it.”
Mr Corbyn had the party whip withdrawn following his reaction to a report on anti-semitism in Labour, but he remains a party member.
