Left MPs demand Corbyn's reinstatement at passionate Arise online rally

LABOUR MPs vowed to intensify pressure to see Jeremy Corbyn readmitted to the party in an online rally organised by Arise on Monday night.

“Jeremy’s message really spoke to me and my community,” Poplar and Limehouse MP Apsana Begum said, arguing that Labour members of black and minority ethnic backgrounds had felt “kept out” of key positions before Mr Corbyn, but his democratisation of the party had allowed people like her to “come up through the grassroots.”
