WITH the exception of the Morning Star, newspapers have reacted with transparent glee to Sir Keir Starmer’s suspension of Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party.
The crowing from across the “mainstream” political spectrum – from the Mail to the Mirror – reflects the importance the political class places on utterly discrediting the former Labour leader.
