It appears to be as a response to his statement this morning in response to the Labour Anti Semitism report which was critical of him.

He refused to apologise and said the report dramatically overstated the situation.

Whrn he refused to withdraw the statement he had the whip withdrawn and was suspended from the party
It was always going to happen. Corbyn isn't Anti Semitic, he's done more to defend the jewish community and other minorities than most politicians. That's not to say that there isn't an element of Anti Semitic behaviour, although most (in my opinion) raised in the form of Zionism and peoples opposition to it. This has been played out by the Tories and the media and made to look much worse than it is. They've got their man, Starmer will be happy.

Our current leader accused Muslim woman who wear the hijab as resembling 'Letterboxes' can you imagine if Corbyn or anyone from the left had said that? This country in the political sense is an absolute shambles.
