Corbyn’s policy chief suspended from party

Jeremy Corbyn’s head of policy, Andrew Fisher, has been suspended from the Labour Party in Britain following complaints that he campaigned for a rival party in the general election.

The Labour leader said he continues to have “full confidence” in Fisher, who is understood to remain a member of Corbyn’s office.

Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee (NEC) is to draw up a report, which could result in disciplinary action against Fisher.
