Jeremy Corbyn is currently Schrodinger’s “Labour” MP. He currently exists both as a Labour MP and an independent MP until Sir Keir Starmer opens the box to find out.
My own interpretation is that this does not look like a man who wants the whip restored, nor did his statement last night. Question is whether he will re-suspend if the whip has been automatically restored, as Corbyn’s allies have claimed.
If you’re a Starmer aide right now, you’re certainly trying to find a way to make the whip stay gone without your leader’s fingerprints on the trigger.
The box has been opened, and it’s bad news for the Corbynites. Their last throw of the dice at the NEC has further undermined the party, but has not resulted in returning their man to the PLP. What next?

Good morning, it’s been 22 days since the UK’s human rights watchdog found Jeremy Corbyn and his office guilty of discriminating against Jewish people to the extent that they broke the law and the former Labour leader has yet to acknowledge personal responsibility or apologise.
There is an organised lobbying effort by his allies inside the party and trade unions to restore the whip even in spite of his refusal to apologise. There is a Labour civil war taking place almost entirely because his own supporters would rather fight a war than demand an apology
Instead they just demand people “move on”. Yes, the same people who denied that there was ever a problem large enough for the EHRC to intervene now want everyone to move on and forget about it even as Corbyn doubles down on rejecting responsibility.

Caught up with the #ReinstateJeremyCorbyn Zoom conference last night, and let me tell you, it is absolutely astonishing how few of his closest allies realise how bang to rights he is against the party's own rule book. I explore the issue in full here:
audioboom.com/posts/7726088-…
The EHRC report has been out for just under a fortnight, and Jeremy Corbyn has still not retracted or apologised for his statement that said "I do not accept all of its findings". Unless that changes, there's no way back for him, and even if it does, he'll need an NEC miracle.
As @AdamWagner1 laid out on @CorbynismTPM, if a senior Met Police officer had said what Corbyn did in the wake of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, they would have been sacked immediately.

The BBC reporting that as shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry was receiving Syria briefings from a notoriously pro-Assad war crimes denier who works for Assad’s father-in-law, and that Corbyn himself had a problem with the White Helmets.
This moment is such a huge vindication for my reporting on the last Labour leader’s Syria position, after I faced years of attack and abuse for reporting the reality behind Corbyn’s position on Syria newstatesman.com/world/middle-e…
I wrote about the issue many times, there was much more I wish I was allowed to publish, but today I will just be thankful that my reporting has been vindicated.

The ludicrous poll Corbyn, Schneider, Raine et al used to defend claims of “exaggeration” was not only wildly misleading, it was commissioned by Greg Philo for a book denying the scale of antisemitism in the Labour Party channel4.com/news/factcheck…
That book was co-written by an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who spends much of his time trying to cover up Assad’s crimes in Syria thetimes.co.uk/article/zionis…
One of the other authors, Justin Schlosberg, is central to the campaign to reinstate Chris Williamson to the Labour Party. These are the people Corbyn was choosing to cite after the EHRC found his office guilty of unlawful discrimination of Jewish people.

Weird seeing people accept the findings of the EHRC, which found Corbyn’s office guilty of unlawful discrimination against Jews, and condemn Corbyn’s rejection of the findings, but still also conclude that suspending him was wrong. Just what does he have to do to be sanctioned?
The first ever EHRC investigation of a political party finds the leader’s office directly responsible for violating equality law and your solution is just to draw a line under it without any disciplinary action for those responsible? Nuts.
There are even those who were acting like the EHRC was good news for Corbyn, rather than one of the most abjectly shameful days in Labour’s history. The Labour Left have zero comprehension of how much they have destroyed their own public image.
