Jeremy Corbyn will not stand for Labour at the next election, says party leader Sir Keir Starmer

Jeremy Corbyn MP

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will not stand as a party candidate at the next general election.

Sir Keir Starmer – the present leader – was emphatic about the decision.

He said: “Let me be very clear about that.

“Jeremy Corbyn will not stand for Labour at the next general election as a Labour Party candidate.

“What I said about the party changing I meant, and we are not going back.

“That is why Jeremy Corbyn will not stand as a Labour candidate at the next general election.” 

Mr Corbyn was kicked out of the Labour party after refusing to accept the findings of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s inquiry into anti-Semitism with Labour ranks.

Mr Corbyn still sits in the House of Commons as an independent.

Sir Keir said:

“We have changed from a party that looked inward to a party that meets the public gaze.

“From a party of dogma to a party of patriotism.

“From a party of protest to a party of public service.

“The Labour party is unrecognisable from 2019 and it will never go back.

“It will never again be a party captured by narrow interest.

“It will never again lose sight of its purpose, or its morals and it will never again be brought to its knees by racism or bigotry.

“If you don’t like that, if you don’t like the changes that we have made, I say the door is open and you can leave.”
