Jeremy Corbyn accuses Sir Keir Starmer of meddling in exclusion of left-wing Labour candidates

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused Sir Keir Starmer of removing left-wing candidates from the party. There has been confusion about whether Diane Abbott can run for Labour on July 4th. Lloyd Russell-Moyle was suspended, and Faiza Shaheen was blocked, leading to criticism of the party's leadership. Sir Keir says the decisions are made by the party's national executive committee, but Mr Corbyn blames him. Mr Corbyn, who was expelled from the party, mentioned that those removed are left-wing and support a ceasefire in Gaza. Jeremy Corbyn had a difficult exit from Labour after leading the party for four years. He was initially removed from the parliamentary party in 2020 for downplaying a report on antisemitism. Later, he was expelled from the party for planning to run as an independent candidate. Sir Keir claims to have made the process more independent by involving the NEC since becoming the leader. In another story, a woman named Milly Hill switched from being a centrist Conservative to supporting Labour. She praised Dr. Simon Opher, a local GP, and expressed her belief that he would be a great MP for Stroud. However, it was revealed that Milly Hill is a Labour councillor. When questioned, she clarified that she last voted Conservative under David Cameron and supported Labour in the 2019 election. The video of Milly Hill supporting Labour caused controversy, with social media users criticizing Dr. Opher for not disclosing her political affiliation. The situation raised questions about transparency and honesty in political campaigns.
