Jeremy Corbyn has defeated Labour to be re-elected in Islington North.

The party’s former leader was re-elected with a majority of more than 7,000 after standing as an independent.

Corbyn was blocked from being the Labour candidate in the seat he has represented since 1983 after Keir Starmer said he did not want him representing the party any more.
