Corbyn influence on Labour policy ‘well and truly over’, says Starmer

Party leader's remarks follow expulsion of predecessor, who decided to stand as independent candidate in general election

Jeremy Corbyn's days of influencing Labour party policy are well and truly over", Keir Starmer has said, as a war of words erupted with his predecessor on the second day of the general election campaign.

Corbyn was expelled from the Labour party on Friday after announcing he would stand as an independent candidate in the 4 July vote.
