In response to the headline, this should give you a fairly good idea of the situation:Don’t believe the MSM, Jeremy Corbyn will stand as an independent in Islington North. — Rachael Swindon (@Rachael_Swindon) February 16, 2023It’s a response to a unilateral declaration by current Labour leader Keir Starmer that former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will not be allowed to stand as a candidate for the party in the next general election. pic.twitter.com/LFOgujYGwN — Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) February 15, 2023It says [boldings mine]:“Ever since I was elected as a Labour MP 40 years ago, I have fought on behalf of my community for a more equal, caring and peaceful society. “Keir Starmer’s statement about my future is a flagrant attack on the democratic rights of Islington North Labour Party members. I suggest the Labour Party does the same.”So in Mr Corbyn’s view, Starmer is divisive, flagrantly undemocratic and flouts due process.
