Sir Keir Starmer said in December that he didn't 'see the circumstances' for which the former Labour leader could stand
Sir Keir Starmer has announced that Jeremy Corbyn "will not stand as a Labour candidate at the next general election". Speaking to reporters yesterday morning, , the Labour leader was asked if he could “categorically” say whether or not his predecessor will stand for the party at the next election.
Mr Corbyn has been MP for Islington north since 1983 and has been sitting as an independent since Sir Keir withdrew the Labour whip from him in October 2020. This was following his response to the Equality and Human Rights Commission report into antisemitism in the party.It is not yet clear whether Mr Corbyn would stand as an independent against an official Labour candidate.
Some supporters believe Corbyn's personal appeal to constituents and his devoted supporters could see him win a contest which had previously helped propel him to leader. Sir Keir was asked about this on Radio 4 yesterday to which he replied: "I can only speak for the Labour Party, I can’t speak for Jeremy on this."
