Which suspension is this talking about?
It's from a typically inaccurate piece in Novara Media talking about Corbyn's suspension:

When a Corbyn loyalist mouthpiece like Novara puts out a piece, and even John McDonnell says it's nonsense, you know you're in dangerous territory. In any event, as anyone who has the remotest interest in Labour party politics knows, the leader of the party does not (should not!) have influence over who is a Labour member, but has full control over which of his MPs gets to represent the party within the PLP as a Labour MP. All these accusations of flip flopping over that suspension stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of the way power works in the Labour Party and - sadly for Novara, a fairly typical - deliberate muddying of the waters between the NEC's responsibility and the LOTO's.
