Who will Keir Starmer get to run for Labour in Islington North? The safe Labour seat has been held by Jeremy Corbyn since 1983, but Sir Keir says the former leader will not stand again.
A source tells us the party leadership “have been casting around for a candidate for a while”. Anyone who does stand will have to win over local members, many of whom still like Corbyn. There have been rumours that he could run as an independent, but his ally, Diane Abbott, has said this is unlikely.
