The NEC removed Corbyns suspension and made no recommendations for him to be removed as an MP.He was allowed back into the party
But has the whip suspended so he sits as an independent mp
Corbyns legal team have lodged papers to challenge this suspension in the high Court (26th November 2020 this was lodged)
Of course there may be several more pressing legal actions ahead for his team with numerous cases against him progressing including a potentially very expensive libel case and of course he is already under investigation for the funding of his numerous legal issues

Personally I don't think lifting the suspension whilst he is still involved in legal action regarding antisemitism as well as him taking legal action against the leader plus of course being under investigation in Parliament wouldn't be especially unifying.
Will be interesting to see if the libel action makes it to court before the next general election... and of course if not will corbyn stand as an independent against Labour?
My gut feel is he will be too busy whoring his mouth out to Russia today again trying to pay off libel damages by then
His case against Labour isn't going so well

Nor is his "zionists who don't understand English irony" case

With that in the background I can't see giving him the whip back (because as I said he's still in the party) would be unifying
This is on Starmer and his intent to purge or split the party.
"A disciplinary panel of the party’s national executive committee (NEC) lifted the suspension of Corbyn’s party membership on Tuesday after he issued a conciliatory statement “clarifying” controversial remarks..."
Starmer said. “In those circumstances, I have taken the decision not to restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn. I will keep this situation under review.”

He then follows this controversial move up with an anti democratic attempt to change leadership rules, going against his 10 pledges and against the very system that got him elected. Starner is on a roll, a roll out of leadership at this rate.
Meanwhile, in the first Labour conference post COVID and maybe the penultimate one before the next election, no coverage is given to, UK COVID failings, social care crisis and the inadequate solution proposed by the Tories, the cut in Universal credit, the proposed charge for COVID tests in the future and the petrol/gas shortage following a disastrous Brexit. Not to mention the disregard given to peace in Northern Ireland.
Keir "own goal" Starmer. What a calamity.
