JEREMY CORYBN has been blocked from running as a Labour candidate at the next general election in a move condemned as “cowardly and wholly undemocratic” today.
A Labour spokesman said Sir Keir Starmer's motion passed by 22 votes to 12 at the party’s national executive committee (NEC) on Tuesday afternoon.
The motion states that the former Labour leader “will not be endorsed by the NEC as a candidate on behalf of the Labour Party at the next general election."
