Sir Keir Starmer takes a firm stance
Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, has stated that former leader Jeremy Corbyn will not be returning as a Labour MP. This decision comes after Corbyn refused to label Hamas as a terrorist organization during an interview.
Avoiding the question
Corbyn, known for his criticism of Israel, dodged the question when asked about Hamas on TalkTV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored show. His refusal to condemn the group has sparked controversy and led to further scrutiny of his political stance.
A changed party
Sir Keir Starmer emphasized that Corbyn's time as a Labour MP has come to an end, stating that the party has undergone significant changes. He made it clear that Corbyn will not be a candidate in any future elections for the Labour Party.
Reaffirming his position
The Labour whip was removed from Corbyn in 2020 due to his response to the equalities commission report on anti-Semitism. Despite losing his whip, Corbyn remains a party member but now sits as an Independent MP. Starmer reiterated that Corbyn's refusal to label Hamas as a terrorist organization only strengthens his belief that Corbyn should not be a Labour MP.
Focused on service
Sir Keir Starmer expressed his determination and lack of concern about the prospect of becoming the Prime Minister. He emphasized that his focus is on serving the country and his only concern is for the well-being of his family.
