NEWS STORY : Bridget Phillipson Criticises Jeremy Corbyn’s “Staggering Lack of Self Reflection”

STORY

Bridget Phillipson, the Shadow Education Secretary, has said on The News Agents Podcast that Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, has shown “a staggering lack of self reflection”. When asked if he might be allowed to rejoin the Parliamentary Labour Party she added:

“I don’t think Jeremy Corbyn has ever fully acknowledged what happened or his responsibilities. He isn’t reflecting on what took place. He again is looking to blame others or to make excuses and I don’t think that’s good enough”.

Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, said in 2020 on Corbyn’s response to a critical EHRC report on the level of anti-semitism in the Labour party that “I was very disappointed in Jeremy Corbyn’s statement and appropriate action has been taken, which I fully support”.
