Jeremy Corbyn has said that Sir Keir Starmer’s insistence that the pair were never friends is “primary school stuff”.
In 2019, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn unveiled an ambitious plan to nationalise part of BT and provide free broadband across the UK.
The broadcaster claimed the former Labour leader had refused to offer up "any kind of apology" over the row over anti-Semitism.
Sir Keir last month confirmed that Corbyn would not be the party’s candidate for the Islington North constituency.
Speculation has been rife after Sir Keir Starmer confirmed his predecessor would not be allowed to stand for Labour.
“I will not be intimidated into silence. I have spent my life fighting for a fairer society on behalf of the people of Islington North, and I have no intention of stopping now.”
Corbyn's share of the vote peaked at 73 per cent at the 2017 general election. It has consistently been above the 50 per cent mark.
The former Labour leader has held the seat since 1983, but could lose it following Sir Keir Starmer's decision to block him from running for the party.
Sir Keir Starmer will on Tuesday propose a motion at an NEC meeting to make clear that the body will not endorse Jeremy Corbyn.
