Jeremy Corbyn reacts to suspension from Labour party: 'Very shocked and disappointed'

Jeremy Corbyn said he would strongly contest his suspension from the Labour party which came after he downplayed a report that detailed serious failings in the party's handling of antisemitism complaints during his leadership. Corbyn called the suspension a 'political intervention'

And Tony Blair is still a member. That says it all.

The Labour Party has lost any sense of reality.

JC, supported the Palestinians, which in today’s world automatically makes you anti Semitic,

[jaispartacus]

This comment section is very uplifting. I love it that people can see through the bullsh*t.

[peregrineslim]

We need to remember as well that a Labour Party report found that some of its own worked against Labour in 2017 and may have cost it the election.

This is absolutely despicable, Jeremy doesn't deserve this. They've turned him into a scapegoat so that Starmer can gain full control of the party!

[harrygreb]

Wow... Labour just gets worse and worse, in fact it’s over

[liverpoololdschool]

Labour all my life as are my family but not anymore they aren't the party of the working class anymore

[mistachrodgangsta]

Criticizing the illegal state of Israel does not equal antisemitism!

[mankesh]

End of Labour Party?
They don't even respect their own !

[kmf]

Starmer has singlehandedly lost any hope in the next election, irreversibly split the party, and given the Torys a stick to hit him with😂😂

[Zkkr]

Disgusting decision by Labour Party, glad I left.

[mukarji]

Labour targeted this man. Feel sorry for him.

[peregrineslim]

The issue may be one to beat the Labour Party with, but more importantly it is destroying irreparably the foundations of democracy in Britain.

[illegalsmirf]

If you want to know who is in control, ask who you are not allowed to criticize ;-)

[stephensmith]

Imagine Johnson being removed for his explicit comments about 'pillar boxes' and 'bank robbers'. Nah... he can say anything he likes!

[MrAAonYT]

I will never ever vote for Labour again absolutely joke!

[waynehutchinson]

This is a shameful disgrace, love you JC, Britain is broken, main stream media is a sham, the Guardian included especially for Assange you should be ashamed

[pacman]

As a staunch labour man all my life.. I won't be voting labour. This is pure and utter stupidity. He was the one and only politician I trusted.

[Teasehirt]

Bye Bye Labour Party, we don't Love You anymore !!
