Party’s former voters say that regaining confidence will be a gradual process
In Sunnyside Community Gardens, a tranquil, wooded oasis in Jeremy Corbyn’s north Islington constituency, the former Labour leader is spoken of fondly. A few years ago he helped put the roof on one of the gardens’ buildings and turned up to a party earlier in the year.
Anna Portch, 45, chair of the gardens’ committee, has campaigned for the Greens but holds Corbyn in high regard. “He comes here and he’s just great with everyone. He’s helped people in so many ways.”
