There’s a plan afoot amongst some Labour MPs to exclude Jeremy Corbyn permanently from the Parliamentary Labour Party.
They want to change Labour standing orders to allow MPs to decide Corbyn’s future. Then vote him out. This would spare Starmer from having to ‘own’ any decision

Labour MPs involved in this plan believe the changes made at conference - to make it harder to deselect sitting MPs - embolden then to make this change
But whips worry about the numbers - while others worry about the optics of another Labour internal row taking centre stage

Also - how ‘hands off’ is the plan to get rid of Corbyn. Of course they would deny involvement
But Team Starmer would logically want the Corbyn issue resolved well before a general election - they don’t want a clash over Corbyn’s selection close to a campaign

TL:DR Something might happen or it might not - so stay tuned
