Corbyn will not return as Labour MP, says leader Keir Starmer

Al Jazeera  

The decision is likely to deepen divisions in the main opposition party, some of whom remain fiercely loyal to Corbyn. The former leader of the United Kingdom’s Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, will not be restored as a Labour member of Parliament, the current Labour leader, Keir Starmer, said on Wednesday. However, Starmer refused to readmit him to the Parliamentary Labour Party, meaning he would not officially represent Labour in parliament and would continue to be classed as an “independent” MP. “Jeremy Corbyn’s actions in response to the EHRC report undermined and set back our work in restoring trust and confidence in the Labour Party’s ability to tackle antisemitism,” Starmer tweeted. But removing the whip from @jeremycorbyn now raises serious questions of due process.” Zarah Sultana, another Labour MP, said: “Jeremy Corbyn is a Labour Member of Parliament.
