Corbyn, who led Labour between 2015 and 2019, was initially expelled from the party and had the whip withdrawn in April 2020, under the leadership of his erstwhile ally Keir Starmer.

The expulsion came after Corbyn said that claims of antisemitism during his time as a leader had been “overstated” for political reasons, in response to an investigation into his handling of the issue.

    What’s the point? He won’t win by any stretch of the imagination, and the majority of votes he does get will be taken from the pool of voters who would ordinarily vote labour. All this does is benefit the tories. He’d be far better supporting Starmer, even if he doesn’t really.

      Corbyn doesn’t support Genocide and Starmer is practically a Tory that did a coup in Labour.
