Keir Starmer and chief whip’s decision means former leader will not sit as Labour MP
Keir Starmer has decided not to readmit his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn as a Labour MP, arguing that he has undermined efforts to restore the party’s reputation in the Jewish community.
An NEC disciplinary panel lifted the suspension of Corbyn’s party membership on Monday. That decision was made after he issued a conciliatory statement “clarifying” controversial remarks he made when the damning Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report was published.
