SIR Keir Starmer will tomorrow deliver the final blow to Jeremy Corbyn’s hopes of standing for Labour at the next general election, warning that if he is a candidate it could hit the party’s chances of victory.
At a meeting of Labour’s ruling body, Sir Keir will put forward a motion saying that it will not endorse Islington North MP Mr Corbyn as a candidate.
Ahead of the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC), a senior Labour source said: “Keir Starmer has made clear that Jeremy Corbyn won’t be a Labour candidate at the next general election. The Labour Party now is unrecognisable from the one that lost in 2019. Tuesday’s vote will confirm this and ensure we can focus on our five missions to build a better Britain.” Even if the Islington North Labour party backed Mr Corbyn to be its candidate, the selection would still need the endorsement of the NEC.
