Labour: Corbyn's party suspension lifted, but he won't be a Labour MP

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will not have the party's whip restored, his successor Sir Keir Starmer has announced.

It means that Mr Corbyn will still not officially be a Labour MP, despite his suspension as a party member having been lifted by a disciplinary panel on Tuesday evening.

The MP for Islington North had been suspended by Labour several weeks ago following his response to a damning report by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

So he’s an elected mp and in the Labour party but not a Labour mp. And I thought US politics was hard to understand..

[FEWGEE]

Labour under Starmer isn't Labour at all.

Backlash from the Jewish community is inaccurate. Who is deciding some general Jewish community backlash who speaks out for them? I have seen many Jews defend Corbyn.

Democracy is a thing of the past if we ever truly had it

'Back lash from the Jewish community' ?? This is so insulting. Talking like Jewish people speak as one?! This totally amateur 'journalism' is beyond a joke.

Jeremy is a real one and he was the most realist of them all it’s Shame how the Labour Party has treated him like this. Politics is broken and the future for ethnic minority groups and the working class is over. I got no faith in this country, current government and today’s politics at all. We are all on our own now and it’s very low and sad times we are living in.

Hi makes me laugh, that of all people, Corbyn is the one tarred with the racist brush. Just imagine some of the conversations that go on in right-wing parties.

[mattevans]

So, when is Keir Starmer resigning? Afterall, he was Corbyn's right hand man. Or should that be left hand?

[ginNjus]

For a labour guy...Corbyn got screwed over by his woke party members.

Anyone that stands up for Palestine is considered anti Semitic. Ask Wiley. There is nothing more tyrannical than labelling any form of criticism of a country as racist and antisemitic. What an absolute joke.

[AutoAlligator]

I am not a Labour voter. I am uncomfortable with labelling Mr Corbin racist. It feels wrong.

[zombiegameruk]

Have to say, imnot the biggest Corbyn fan, genuinely don't agree with him on most things, but the way labour has treated him since he took power is beyond a joke.
A lot of the party were looking for a way to get him out for year's, and they are just using this as an excuse.
Labour party should genuinely be ashamed of their actions here.

[TheWozCom]

I think Jeremy Corbin should start his own political party...

[thenavigateur]

Tony Blair: new labour
Jeremy Corbyn: democratic socialist labour
Keir Starmer: screw labour

I'm speaking completely out of ignorance here, and i promise i'm not looking for a fight and i'm not taking the piss or anything. I'm simply asking for some details here. Because i have repeatedly heard people say that there is anti-Semitism in the Labour party and i believe it is a huge part of the reason why Labour lost the last election. But i have never heard anyone actually explain what has been said. There is often a fine line between anti-semitism (criticism and discrimination of a race/religion) and anti-zionism (criticism and discrimination of Israel), a distinction which i think is very important when determining intent of racism or offence. So could someone please explain what has been said.

[MahmoudMaguid]

Bully tactics from the new Labour leader against the old Labour leader. Shocking and despicable behaviour. Utterly wrong and completely misguided Mr Starmer is. I have lost faith in the guy I'm afraid to say.

[LiiLaGiusta]

NO PLACE FOR INTOLERANCE! CORBYN MUST STAY AT HOME.. TIME TO RETIRE!!!!

[JamSoupMusicLols]

Starmer is all over the place. Corbyn unanimously reinstated by the NEC. Starmer tried to play politics and lost.

[progamermae]

Starmer is taking the piss, Jeremy has done a lot for the Jewish community. He shouldn't cower, if he continues to do this, he will lose a lot of support within the party.

FORCE PRIVATE LANDLORDS to rent to benefit tenants because 6 million people are about to become homeless!!!
