The PM leaves office having squandered Labour’s electoral mandate and alienated its grassroots. He will not be missed, writes BRIAN LEISHMAN MP
TODAY is the first anniversary of Jeremy Corbyn losing the Labour whip. The previous day, the national executive committee (NEC) had reinstated him into the Labour Party after a patently unjust decision to suspend him, only for the Labour leader Keir Starmer to announce on Twitter: “I have taken the decision not to restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn. I will keep this situation under review.”
There has been no review and no discernible process behind his decision — only Starmer’s claim that “the disciplinary process does not have the confidence of the Jewish community.”
This was not, and still is not, the view or experience of the Jewish residents of Islington North, orthodox and secular, with whom Corbyn has built strong and constructive relationships over many years.
