JEREMY Corbyn has told the local Labour Party in Islington North that he wants to “carry on” with his job as the area’s MP.

With the party blocking him from standing again, members of the constituency Labour ­Party almost unanimously passed a motion calling for them to have the democratic right to select their own candidate for the next general election.

Ninety-eight per cent voted in favour of the motion, with 60 voting in support and one member abstaining. No one spoke against the motion.

Mr Corbyn himself attended the meeting, which he is allowed to despite having the party’s parliamentary whip removed by leader Sir Keir Starmer. The party’s National Executive Committee in March approved its own motion, brought by Mr Starmer, barring Mr Corbyn from standing for Labour again.

Mr Corbyn, however, thanked members for their support and told them: “I love my job and I want to carry on doing it.”
