Sources come up online for his mother being a maths teacher, and for his father being an engineer (for GEC); nothing seems to come up with relation to his being an expert in power rectifiers. Where did this come from?
Could someone clarify why he was not permitted to stand as a candidate?

Currently the article mentions that he had unanimous support from the local Constituency Labour Party.
According to this article of Brevia Consulting (relatively well known among those in government) all that is then needed is for a local husting to confirm who gets selected out of a shortlist compiled by the CLP. (https://www.brevia.co.uk/news/politics/how-are-parliamentary-candidates-selected/)
But if that didn't happen, at what stage and how was he not permitted to stand?
I could email him and ask myself but since Wikipedia prefers secondary sources perhaps someone who better understands UK politics could look into it? Cheers 46.162.86.84 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:22, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
You’ve probably found your answer by now, but basically, the Labour Party National Executive Committee has effectively unlimited purview on who they choose to let stand as a Labour Candidate. The NEC passed a motion banning him from standing, claiming that it was an electoral liability. маsтегрнатаLк21:24, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Masterpha Agree that this would be the Labour Party's official stance, but that said I think this is a question where you would get a variety of different answers on depending on which sources you quoted, and updating the article would probably require presenting multiple points of view. Many of these answers aren't mutually exclusive—for example, many of Corbyn's supporters would state that it was part of an ongoing attempt to remove left-wing or left-leaning members from the Labour Party—but if the question is what's the primary reason? No-one knows for certain, and given it was decided by committee different people may've had different reasons. EditorOnOccasion (talk) 10:55, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Of course. The most we can do with regards to that is to state what happened, i.e. the NEC passed a motion which prevented him from standing, and then follow up with alleged motivations. One of them may have been to purge leftist members, and we can quote leftist MPs and Corbyn allies such as John McDonnell and Diane Abbott on that. Starmer actually has claimed on many occasions that it was due to his ‘zero-tolerance stance’ on antisemitism. Starmer himself being a member of the NEC, as well as the elected Leader of the Party with considerable influence, it’s reasonable to conclude that this was one of the many motivations behind passing that motion. маsтегрнатаLк12:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Although according to some sources, anti-Semitism was used as a pretext to remove left-wing elements from the party. It's hard to believe that Starmer would disallow any candidate based on principles. TFD (talk) 17:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

The photograph under "Post-leadership" has the wrong year. Change "Corbyn sits on the backbenches in his first Prime Minister's Questions since his resignation as Labour leader, 22 April 2024" to "Corbyn sits on the backbenches in his first Prime Minister's Questions since his resignation as Labour leader, 22 April 2020." NOTES: The uploaded photo correctly attributes its origin to 2020, but the caption is incorrectly stated as 2024. Corbin's first PMQs after stepping down from leadership was in 2020.

Shouldn't we have a section on the 2017 general election in which Theresa May lost her parliamentary majority and the Labour Party increased its seats by 30 and its vote by 9%? Seems notable. Burrobert (talk) 12:50, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
ThingsCanOnlyGetWetter removed it because, "Trimmed leader of the opposition section as it has a sub-article, rightfully restored as there was no consensus to remove it." [1][03:18, 2 August 2024] Possibly did not notice as a large amount of material was deleted. TFD (talk) 23:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
