Sir Keir Starmer confirms Jeremy Corbyn will never return as Labour MP after failing to call Hamas terrorists
SIR Keir Starmer has said Jeremy Corbyn’s time as a Labour MP has come to an end.
The party leader slammed his predecessor after he refused to call Hamas a terrorist organisation in an interview.
Corbyn, an outspoken critic of Israel, continually avoided the question when asked on TalkTV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored show this week.
The Labour boss told The News Agents podcast: “He won’t stand as a Labour MP at the next election or any election.
“His days as a Labour MP are over. We have a changed party.”
The Labour whip was removed in October 2020 over his response to the equalities commission report on anti-Semitism but he remains a party member.
He now sits as an Independent MP.
Starmer, discussing the interview, added: “It reaffirmed in me why it is so important to me and to this changed Labour Party that Jeremy Corbyn does not sit as a Labour MP and will not be a candidate at the next election for the Labour Party.”
He added that he was “undaunted” by the prospect of entering Number 10.
He added: “This for me is about service not entitlement… my only concern is about my family.”
