Ex-Labour Jeremy Corbyn defeats old party candidate

Veteran left-winger Jeremy Corbyn won his parliamentary seat on Friday (July 5), beating the candidate of the Labour Party he used to lead and promising to be a thorn in the side of Keir Starmer's incoming government after an acrimonious falling out with his successor. "This result is to me a resounding message from the people of Islington that they want something different, they want something better," Corbyn said.
