The Labour Party leader immediately suspended Jeremy Corbyn when his predecessor refused to accept all the findings by the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s investigations
Keir Starmer vowed to rid Labour of anti-Semitism and rebuild trust in the party after a damning report yesterday accused it of discriminating against Jews.
The leader immediately suspended Jeremy Corbyn when his predecessor refused to accept all the findings by the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s investigations – which he claimed were “overstated”.
He became the first former head to be suspended, while an internal probe into his behaviour is carried out.
Mr Starmer’s decisive move was a display of his determination to try to draw a line under the anti-Semitism row that has plagued the party under its previous leadership.
It was also in stark contrast to Mr Corbyn’s time in office, where many critics accused him of sitting on the fence over issues.
