THE shocking suspension of Jeremy Corbyn by Labour’s leadership is a “massive attack on the left” that undermines the party’s response to anti-semitism, socialists warned today.
Left-wing voices rallied around the former Labour leader with the party’s Socialist Campaign Group vowing to fight tirelessly for his reinstatement.
Mr Corbyn was suspended pending investigation of his comments after the release of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) report into allegations of anti-semitism in the party.
