I don't really know how much this is news Corbyn hasn't had the whip in a long time now. This is just the latest in a string of events where he's shown why it won't be returned.
‘His days as a Labour MP are over’: Starmer condemns Corbyn’s Hamas stance

At least he's not going to call him into the cabinet as FS (assuming a Labour win next year) and make him a Lord after this.

It's interesting reading further, apparently poor scientific understanding was also prevalent in parts of Europe. It really does highlight the issue in which democracies are set up so those who generally shout the loudest, lie the most and have the fewest morals and understanding get into positions of power whilst those with real understanding and care don't.
I do think that applies mainly in democratic nations that had populist leaders: US/UK/Brazil etc. In less populist nations such as NZ, Holland, Spain the restrictions were quicker and more decisive, as these leaders didn't rely on being popular as much although it did lead to the NZ prime minister leaving office
I wasn't referring to just Covid but more broadly the level of scientific illiteracy among those at the top. Also in other news, allies of Trump are putting together lists of 10,000's of followers who they intend to place in every single position of power and responsibility around the country they can, with the sole criteria being absolute loyalty to Trump. This includes election officials, judges, police, defence and anyone with power and influence. The intention is this will also be done alongside state level appointees in loyal states, filling them with Trump loyalists. This is laying the groundwork for dictatorship and I'm amazed that people can look at the language and stated desires of Trump and his supporters are still deny this is the goal. What sort of democratic and mentally stable leader does this?
