The tweets discuss the controversial decision to bar former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn from standing as a Labour MP in the next general election.

Others highlight the potential impact on minority rights and criticize the media's coverage of the issue.

1640319464880107522 | @hzeffman Hi Henry, Why do you think no one in Labour or media have criticised/questioned Lord Iain McNicol who was responsible for the systems, processes, & training the EHRC report found unlawful. He was also responsible for the failure to implement the Chakrabarty recommendations ? | 26 |
1640315976792043520 | @hzeffman The 2010 General Election โ8,609,527 votes (29% vote share) The 2015 General Election โ 9,347,273 votes (30.4% vote share) The 2019 General Election โ10,269,051 votes (32.1% vote share) Starmer's argument would only hold water if @Ed_Miliband & @GordonBrown blocked from standing. | 25 |
1640330939921252353 | @hzeffman It is by any measure a quite extraordinary motion, and one that the NEC, of which I was a member for 8 years would probably have ruled out of order. And on the grounds that it could equally have applied to Messrs Foot, Kinnock, Brown and Miliband! | 22 |
1640302495283986434 | @hzeffman If Corbyn (when leader) had carried out this sort of stitch up to get rid of MP's he didn't like our 'free' press would have been screaming Stalinist, Democracy hater, unfit to govern. Yet you're so happy to cover Sir Keir's back - our press pack are total cowards | 20 |

1640322861825966080 | @hzeffman @hct2906 If Starmer's NEW-NEW labour refer to the EHRC too much - they may be asked about their inaction over the Forde Report's criticisms on funding, weaponizing of accusations of AS and the hierarchy of racism. https://t.co/2vg2KsRIM7 | 18 |

1640286542051569664 | @hzeffman That's because too many people now know the EHRC is not a reason for barring Corbyn. Will you be asking why Miliband isn't also barred, given Starmer's justification for barring Corbyn here? | 73 |
1640300648875843585 | @hzeffman @ItCorbyn It's also a standard that has never applied to any other Labour MP, let alone former leader. Kinnock, Brown & Miliband were never barred from standing after electoral defeat. It's undemocratic factionalism | 65 |
1640330939921252353 | @hzeffman It is by any measure a quite extraordinary motion, and one that the NEC, of which I was a member for 8 years would probably have ruled out of order. And on the grounds that it could equally have applied to Messrs Foot, Kinnock, Brown and Miliband! | 59 |

1640293854480924672 | @hzeffman do you have any more thoughts to offer than it being "striking"? is that the extent of the political analysis you are handsomely paid to provide? | 43 |
