Tomorrow marks three months since Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer withdrew the whip from his predecessor.
Islington North constituency Labour Party (CLP) members David Rosenberg and Julia Bard wrote to Sir Keir and deputy leader Angela Rayner to call for the “immediate restoration” of the whip to their “exemplary” MP.
Mr Rosenberg and Ms Bard described themselves as “Jews who have been combating and educating people about anti-semitism over decades (including being educators on trips to Auschwitz).”
They said that they were “dismayed by the injustice” of Mr Corbyn having the whip withdrawn on the same day his three-week suspension was lifted in November.

Editorial: Inquiry or no, the left must never forget what we learned from Labour’s leaked report Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer delivers a virtual speech in January
MPs writing to warn Keir Starmer that a decision to indefinitely delay the Forde inquiry risks giving the appearance of indifference to anti-black racism within Labour are right to do so.
They highlight just one of the many important issues raised in the report leaked last Easter on Labour’s handling of anti-semitism allegations.
Martin Forde QC says the decision to postpone reporting is because he does not wish the internal inquiry to prejudice an Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) investigation.
