Corbyn, an outspoken critic of Israel, continually avoided the question when asked on TalkTV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored show this week.

The Labour boss told The News Agents podcast: “He won’t stand as a Labour MP at the next election or any election.

"His days as a Labour MP are over. We have a changed party.”

He now sits as an Independent MP.

Starmer, discussing the interview, added: “It reaffirmed in me why it is so important to me and to this changed Labour Party that Jeremy Corbyn does not sit as a Labour MP and will not be a candidate at the next election for the Labour Party.”

He added that he was “undaunted” by the prospect of entering Number 10.

He added: “This for me is about service not entitlement… my only concern is about my family.”
