The party’s National Executive has voted 22 to 12 to approve a motion by current Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer to bar his predecessor from standing for the leadership again.
Left-leaning 73-year-old Jeremy Corbyn has been elected MP for the Islington North constituency in north London continuously since 1983 with the Labor party.

In a statement commenting on Mr Starmer’s motion to the party body, Jeremy Corbyn accused him of breaching a pledge to respect Labor members and “tarnishing the democratic foundations of our party”.
In a message to his supporters, Mr Corbyn said “we’re not going anywhere”, a phrase widely seen as an intention to stand as an independent candidate against the Labor candidate at the next general election.
