    Bye Jeremy Corbyn...

    Hopefully he will retire.

    https://news.sky.com/story/jeremy-co...ction-12844035

    Jeremy Corbyn has been banned from standing as a candidate for Labour at the next general election.

    The National Executive Committee (NEC) voted 22 to 12 to approve a motion from Sir Keir Starmer to prevent his predecessor from being endorsed.

    Shabana Mahmood, a Labour MP and the party's national campaign co-ordinator, called the move a "clear demonstration" of the current leadership making changes "to make sure that we can win the trust of the British people again".

    But supporters of Mr Corbyn have braded the decision an "anti-democratic stitch-up", saying local constituency members should get to decide his fate.

    The veteran MP, 73, has represented Islington North for the past 40 years and must now decide if he wants to stand as an independent candidate, having been a member of the Labour party since he was 16.

    Such a move could cause a distracting challenge for Sir Keir at the next election, with Mr Corbyn retaining significant support among constituents who have voted for him in 10 consecutive elections since 1983.

    He'll stand as an independent. Because he's utterly deluded.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Clearly the hidden agenda from Kier, abit harsh after 40 years. Am sure whatever he has done comes across as a good local MP.

        Not to the constituents I know of his.

        Oddly the long standing MPs most people think have odious views as they tend to vote with the government/their party seem to be better constituency MPs.

          Starmer needs to kick out another 20-30 and get Brown level taxation - 40% max, he’ll win by a landslide and govern for the next 20 years

            FTFY. I don't agree with him on much but I think he'd be a good MP to have, who actually GAS about the constituents.

            It does seem a bit of scapegoat situation... blame all the anti-jew stuff on him and then kick him out "look we fixed the problem".
