No pasaran!
They're a public body, so I would have thought so.
I think you'll find he he wasn't ousted. He resigned.
In fairness there is a limit to what you you cram into a small leaflet. These are career highlights in the constituency (none of which include anything he did as party leader). But whatever your opinion of Corbyn as a party leader, there's no disputing he is one of the very best constituency MPs out there.

Yep. Ethnic breakdown of the constituency is as follows:
According to the 2011 census, the constituency has a population of around 108,000 people. Some key demographic details:
| Characteristic | Percentage |

| Asian | 24.6% |
| Black | 18.4% |
| Other Ethnic Groups | 11.1% |
| Born Outside the UK | 39.8% |
The constituency has a relatively young population, with a median age of 34.4 years old, compared to the national average of 39.3 years old.

The other great comment I saw on Twitter went something like 'It looks like a press release from the HR section of a company celebrating their first black employee'

I've noticed there's a certain kind of person I've met a few times in my life, who considers themselves to be left wing but is also firmly ensconced in a upper middle class bubble, generally in London and the South East, and who are seemingly pathologically determined to believe that everyone outside of that bubble is some kind of archetype of a bigoted right wing headbanger no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary.
They genuinely don't get that soft socialist / social-democratic views remain a kind of political common sense in the old Labour heartlands, so you get the projection that support for Corbyn was coming exclusively from the sort of upper middle class leftie who they are more familiar with. I also suspect that they like to believe that they are more enlightened than the unwashed bigoted masses and so are always on the look out for confirmation of this. When presented with the fact that Corbyn increased Labour's vote share in places like Gateshead they react by seemingly disavowing the information as they can't deal with the cognitive dissonance. They are thick racist northerners not blue haired university educated LGBT activists so how can they possibly vote Corbyn?
This kind of person is massively over represented in "left of centre" political and media circles IMO.
