Former Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn joins members of the National Education Union on a march through Westminster where they are gathering for a rally against the government's controversial plans for a new law on minimum service levels during strikes
JEREMY CORBYN accused the Labour leadership of “denigrating the party’s democratic foundations” today after Sir Keir Starmer confirmed he is taking forward plans to permanently block his predecessor from the parliamentary party.
The ex-shadow Brexit secretary will propose a motion at a meeting of Labour’s national executive committee on Tuesday which stresses the Islington North MP “will not be endorsed as a Labour Party candidate at the next general election” — due next year.
The motion, expected to pass with the support of right-wingers, comes after Sir Keir, who withdrew the party whip from Mr Corbyn in 2020, claimed last month that Labour is “now unrecognisable from the one that lost in 2019.”
