My current understanding of this ridiculous show of force by Starmer is that Corbyn 's suspension is lifted from the Labour Party but he remains an Independent MP and does not have the PLP whip restored.![]()
I think he's allowed in Sub, but when he's in he has to stand on the naughty step in the corner, and everyone has to ignore him. I like it though, it's not long since the hard Left had the PLP by the short and curlies, not anymore, Sir Kneel has the whip-hand now, and he's cracking it.![]()
Meanwhile up here in what used to be the largest pit village in the world the local MP and big friend of JC is still going on about the miners' strike etc., however,he has never explained exactly what happened to all the local MU funds when he was their head. Not that I am accusing him of anything, I just listen to many of my friends who used to be miners and paid into the fund.
Isuppose I should be grateful to have an MP who did actually work for a living once upon a time ---how quickly they forget!
This may help super if this is the man or if not.
Funds were a cash cow for a few paid for by the many
Ian Lavery MP received £165,000 from 10 member trade union http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41688280
Thanks OC ---I was actually being sarcastic --sorry!
No problem hope he enjoys his I’ll gotten gains.
Meanwhile
32 MPs from the Socialist Campaign Group hit out Sir Keir's decision reinstate Mr Corbyn but not return the party whip.
Among the group were high-profile allies of the former leader and former Shadow Cabinet ministers, John McDonnell, Rebecca Long-Bailey and Diane Abbott.
The statement read: "The decision to not restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn is wrong and damaging for the Labour Party.
"This decision and the division it causes severely undermines efforts to unite to defeat Anti-Semitism and fully implement the EHRC recommendations and to challenge and defeat this disastrous Conservative Government."

Thought I would revisit this nonsense:
The PC Brigade alias the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is a toothless, humourless, some would say useless and totally not fit for purpose non-departmental public body operating in England and Wales, established by the Equality Act 2006 with effect from 1 October 2007.
The Commission has responsibility for the promotion and enforcement of equality and non-discrimination laws in England and Wales. It took over the responsibilities of the Commission for Racial Equality, the Equal Opportunities Commission and the Disability Rights Commission.
It also has responsibility for other aspects of equality law: age, ***ual orientation and religion or belief. A national human rights institution, it seeks to promote and protect human rights in England and Wales. It has garnered a well-earned reputation for pandering to the right-wing media and the Politically Correct Brigade,
Scotland does not share the enthusiasm for this toothless tiger and have gone about setting up their own Equality and Human Rights Commission in Scotland. OC please note!
Taking a leaf right out of the Labour Party’s handbook, the Scots aspire to work to eliminate discrimination, reduce inequality, protect and promote human rights, build good relations between people and ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate in society.
It has however failed spectacularly as anyone who has recently witnessed an “Old Firm” derby in Glasgow or attended a Hearts of Midlothian versus Hibernian football game in Edinburgh will gladly tell you.
Hopping straight on the “Let us cry anti-Semitism bandwagon,” are our favourite two Jewish Panto Dames, Labour MP Margaret Hodge and serial political party jumper Luciana Berger who have already tried and executed Jeremy Corbyn on at least god knows how many other previous occasions. Hodge is now at it again by threatening to resign should Starmer restore the Parliamentary whip to Corbyn.
This spurious, “anti-Semitic is rife in the Labour Party” nonsense was instigated by a jumped up, overly privileged Hooray Henry Witchfinder General named Gideon Falter. This self-righteous busybody also happens to be perhaps not by chance, the Chief Executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
Falter is also purportedly the Chairman of the ultra-Zionist Jewish National Fund, you guessed it, that’s the one that promotes the rights of Jews to steal Palestinian land.
Falter leaves no stone unturned in his zeal to find anti-Semitism at every corner. In the summer of 2014, Falter helped to establish the afore-mentioned Campaign Against Antisemitism UK. He quickly recruited his Jewish buddy Jonathan Sacerdoti, a British journalist who resides in the United Kingdom.
Sacerdoti covers stories relating to the UK and Europe, in addition to commenting on terrorism and extremism, he also attempts to analyse what’s breaking in the Middle East. He is also an avid anti-Semitism campaigner.
Sacerdoti and Falter once together, quickly conceived one of Baldrick’s most cunning plans to call for “zero tolerance enforcement of existing laws against anti-Semitism by the police.” Falter also claims the Israeli Defence Force is “held to impossibly high standards” in response to the Israelis using unharmed Palestinians for target practice.
Finally, let us not forget the EHRC was originally inspired by the legend in his own lunchbox Mark Trevor Phillips. Phillips famously moaned it would be impossible for a black candidate in the United Kingdom to rise to the top in politics because of institutional racism within the Labour Party.
Do we really need to say any more?
