Labour's NEC votes to block Corbyn from running as party candidate at election by 22 votes to 12
Keir Starmer’s move to block Jeremy Corbyn from running to be a Labour MP at the next election has been backed by the party’s national executive committee (NEC), PA Media reports. PA says:
A Labour spokesman said the leader’s motion passed by 22 votes to 12, meaning it is now down to Corbyn to decide whether to run as an independent candidate.
Corbyn, the veteran left-winger who has represented Islington North since 1983, had criticised the move as “undermining the party’s internal democracy” before its approval.
The motion says he “will not be endorsed by the NEC as a candidate on behalf of the Labour party at the next general election”.
Corbyn running as an independent in the north London constituency where he retains significant support could cause a distracting challenge for Starmer at the next election.
I think it's this one, a man of the people!
they'd blame Jeremy. The starmer army already do. It's insaneReally hope he runs as an indie. I can see him winning easily.
And then Labour fail to gain an overall majority by one seat...
In Holborn and St Pancras?Really hope he runs as an indie.
Starmer would deal with the lib dems before he'd deal with JCReally hope he runs as an indie. I can see him winning easily.
And then Labour fail to gain an overall majority by one seat...

Pau8l Mason is trundling his caravan up to north islington right nowAt least this’ll be a highlight of the next election, watching whatever servile careerist twat the revisionist Starmer clique puts up get pulverised by big boss man Corbyn. How low will the Starmer Puppet’s vote go? Will they be able to break Frank Dobson’s 13%?

She didn't tell him at the start she was from Sky news but she says she did.
To be fair if his shitty colleagues in the parliamentary Labour Party hadn't been out for his neck he almost certainly would have led labour to victory in 2017TBF it does just cut in so who knows whether she introduced herself or not. Either way, it just exemplifies how crap he is with dealing with the media and why he was never going to lead Labour back into power.
