Let London Live leader, Piers Corbyn, is standing as his party’s only Southwark councillor, as a candidate in Faraday on an anti-vaccination, anti-lockdown agenda.
Brother of the former Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, Piers was a Labour councillor in what was then Burgess Ward from 1986 to 1990.
Let London Live’s first priority is to oppose any future lockdown restrictions and coercion-enforced vaccination programmes the government might impose.

Piers said: “The last two years the council have worked against the interests of the people by imposing these lockdown restrictions.
“The Labour Party has done nothing but knee jerk to Boris – it’s pathetic.”
He would also insist on a “full review” of all the “completely stupid LTNs that anyone with a car hates” although he says he accepts that some may be justified.
As a Labour councillor thirty years ago he focussed on improving housing, protecting travellers’ rights and setting up the SELCHP energy facility, which converts household waste into energy.

Formally a TRA chair on his own Walworth housing estate, Piers says he is disgusted by the council’s demolitions of the Heygate and Aylesbury Estates.
He has pledged to oppose all private demolitions of existing social housing and build 50,000 council homes over the next seven years.
In April 2021, Corbyn stood for London mayor which saw him finish 11th with 20,604 votes.
