Jeremy Corbyn has said he is “planting the seeds for a new way of doing politics” following his election victory in Islington.
Corbyn plans to host monthly “people’s forums”, which he describes as “a shared, democratic space” for local campaigns, and trade, tenants’ and debtors’ unions.
He believes these forums will form the basis of a new grassroots organising model that can be replicated across the country.
Most MPs hold regular surgeries for constituents to air their grievances or lobby the MP on a particular subject.
The Islington North MP called for people to “stand up for themselves and against those who have ignored their demands for peace and humanity”.
