Corbyn, who led Labour between 2015 and 2019, was initially expelled from the party and had the whip withdrawn in April 2020, under the leadership of his erstwhile ally Keir Starmer.

The expulsion came after Corbyn said that claims of antisemitism during his time as a leader had been "overstated" for political reasons, in response to an investigation into his handling of the issue.

Best of luck to him. The Zionist orchestrated smear campaign, backed by the red Tories, was a disgrace and a chilling sign of how far the Israel lobby has ensconced itself into UK politics.

We need to push back against the AIPAC-isation of our democracy.
