Ok cool, can you move on and have ONE other notable candidate then please? This is the only person I ever seem to hear about bar Starmer so at this point I am wondering if Corbyn is indeed going to be standing in some shock reveal like a weird realty tv show
He’ll still win as an independent.
That’ll teach him to float the idea that better living standards are possible!
*sigh*
Like clockwork, Labour prepares to conduct a bunch of in-fighting to hurt their massive lead over the Tories. I really don’t get how this is anything but a flagrant denial of leftist ideas within the party since [Starmer doesn’t appear to be taking the EHRC report much more seriously than Corbyn did](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65032001). The justification seems to boil down to the idea that “Labour has changed” and really wanting to hammer that point home by excising one of the most popular and well-known people in Labour. As the “senior Labour source” says:
>”The Labour Party now is unrecognisable from the one that lost in 2019
It seems pretty likely that all this will result in is Corbyn standing and winning independently.

I assume this decision is in effect Labour choosing to lose in Islington North.
Not that it’s likely to matter unless they really fuck up another election by bickering amongst themselves instead of fighting the ~~cunts~~ Tories.
Can’t believe anyone is surprised/shocked by this. This has been inevitable for some time.
Tbh I thought it had already been announced.
If I didn’t know better I’d say that someone was trying to silence someone.
Why do we spend so much time talking about this muppet.
Still people on Reddit who think that the reduction of the hard left party members and distancing from Corbyn will lead to Labour losing.
Hilarious.
Corbyn is incredibly un-electable. Probably a good decision by Starmer
I honestly think everyone needs to move on from this, not least Jeremy Corbyn himself
Gather round all ye British folk. It’s time for the weekly Jeremy Corbyn bashing media story! 🤩
it’s become clear to me from reading some of the comments here that some sections of the electorate aren’t broadly interested in tangible changes in policy, they just want the guy pulling the ‘we love corporations / fuck the poor’ levers to be wearing a red rosette instead of a blue one.
He would spook the establishment and motivate them to attack labour harder, and may prevent some donations. That’s the realpolitik unfortunately as we don’t really live in a full multiparty democracy that allows plurality and that is how politics is controlled.
Good. As someone who lives in Islington North I look forward to voting Labour this upcoming election.
Typical, literally the only guy I would ever vote for.
What a joke, even if you hate Corbyn and his principals he should be able to stand in a democracy.
Can we just ditch FPTP now and this wouldn’t even be a problem? Unless labour support voting reform it I am not voting for them.
Although I’m not his biggest fan (nor do I hate him), this is pretty clear evidence that if you don’t follow whatever parliamentary agenda is on the cards, you’re not welcome.
Although they have very different political views, the same thing happened to Andrew Bridgen because he dared to raise questions that the government didn’t want to have to answer. Notice how a Tory MP appeared to persuade MPs on the other side of the house to leave before his debate. They stood up and left.
Parliament is theatre. The parties are aligned much more closely than most people realise. If you disrupt the agenda, you’re out. People need to wake up because whatever is going on in politics at the moment is really quite sinister.
The UK has decided it doesn’t want socialism. Let’s all just sit back and enjoy the collapse of society.
Why not? The UK is well and truly fucked anyway 🤷♂️
If he stands as an independent, I would vote for him
Good leadership by starmer. Boot the old 70s era dinosaur who has done thing but undermine the party since he lost the election.
Labour wants to win an election. They cant do that with Corbyn.
Yet another post on here where the comments are full of Corbyn supporters saying any dislike of Corbyn was solely down to media brainwashing, whilst at the same time parroting the lie that Labour have no left wing policies under Starmer.
The irony is absolutely delicious.
This sub is hilariously out of touch with the country at times…
Starmer is doing this because it’s gonna gain him far more votes than it’ll lose him.
I don’t understand how this is a story, he was dropped back in 2020 from the Labour Party, why on earth would he want to represent them in 2023?
Good. Will never forgive him for assisting Brexit and on Ukraine he’s a total disgrace. Good riddance to him.
Good. Corbyn is toxic as fuck to Labour.
Sooner the left stop their absolutely weird support of Corbyn the better, for the left.
