JEREMY CORBYN yesterday told Sir Keir Starmer “we won’t let you abandon the Palestinian people” after it emerged that he would delay recognising the Palestinian state to appease the US should Labour win this week’s general election.

At an election rally in Islington North, the former Labour leader took aim at his decision.

Addressing campaigners at a rally in Finsbury Park, Mr Corbyn said: “We must recognise the state of Palestine. Not some time in the future. Not when the time is right. Now.”
