I liked this below-the-line comment on the same piece: "Just surprised go see comments actually open on this, no articles about the Corbyn expulsion have been open to comment for days, not even Steve Bells excellent cartoon a few days ago." It amuses me to see what The Guardian allows readers to comment on. I was not surprised by the decision to not let Corbyn stand. I assume that his expulsion from the party still stands. I am more surprised at the involvement of the central party in the selection of candidates to stand in elections. Telling 19 Leicester councillors that they could not stand again in the forthcoming local election, does seem a little strange. As far as I am aware, those 19 had not been expelled from the party before they were told they could not stand as a Labour candidate.
