Sir Keir Starmer takes a stand
Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, has made it clear that Jeremy Corbyn's time as a Labour MP is over. This comes after Corbyn refused to label Hamas as a terrorist organization during an interview.
Corbyn's controversial stance
Jeremy Corbyn, known for his criticism of Israel, dodged the question when asked about Hamas during an interview on TalkTV's Piers Morgan Uncensored show. This refusal has led to strong criticism from within his own party.
Labour Party undergoes change
Sir Keir Starmer emphasized that Corbyn's refusal to condemn Hamas as terrorists is not in line with the values of the Labour Party. He stated that Corbyn will not be a Labour MP in the upcoming election or any future election, as the party has undergone significant changes.
Labour whip removed
In October 2020, Corbyn had the Labour whip removed due to his response to the equalities commission report on anti-Semitism. Despite this, he remains a party member but now sits as an Independent MP.
Starmer remains undaunted
Sir Keir Starmer expressed his determination and commitment to his role as party leader. He stated that his focus is on serving the country and making a positive impact, rather than personal entitlement. He also mentioned that his family is his main concern.
