Islington North.
Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn holds the seat on 49.2% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Sitting as an independent since being expelled from Labour ahead of the 2024 election, Corbyn has been one of the more rebellious voices in the current Commons -- though "rebel" requires context for an MP with no party whip to follow. His most distinctive recent votes pit him against the Labour government on children's online safety, where he backed Lords amendments seeking a social media ban for under-16s that ministers rejected, and on the Crime and Policing Bill, where he voted to retain Lords protections for political speech around terrorism. He has also consistently backed Lords scrutiny of the English Devolution Bill against government attempts to override the upper chamber. In April 2026, he was quoted in coverage opposing the government's protest-rights legislation, framing it as an attack on civil liberties.
At 52% participation, Corbyn votes in roughly half of all divisions -- below the Commons average. His stance profile is sharply left-leaning: he votes with workers' rights and welfare-expansion positions over 85% of the time, but deviates hard from his independent peers on fiscal discipline (14% aligned) and housing development (0%). He speaks prolifically -- 263 contributions across 174 debates -- with defence his dominant topic, likely reflecting his long-standing anti-war positions. He is notably more supportive than fellow independents of the private school VAT policy and educational equality measures.
News coverage over the past 90 days is near-neutral on balance across 106 articles, but the highest-impact individual pieces cut both ways: praised for constituent engagement and grassroots accountability, criticised for inconsistency on Zionism and for his leadership of Your Party. No committee memberships are recorded. Data on local casework is unavailable.
