Jeremy Corbyn officially blocked from standing for Labour at next general election

Ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been formally blocked from standing as a candidate for the party at the next general election.

Labour's governing body - the National Executive Body - today approved a motion proposed by Keir Starmer not to endorse his predecessor by 22 votes to 12.

It means Mr Corbyn, who has had the whip suspended since 2020, will be unable to stand for Labour in the constituency of Islington North for the first time since 1983.
