Defend the Left - no bans and proscriptions!

We're campaigning against all bans and proscriptions of left-wing and socialist groups in the Labour Party

@PamelaFitzNWC The General Secretary is presumably accountable?

[The Forensic Socialist @VoteEsther]

I've analysed the accounts of @UKLabour for 2020. It's clear that the 2020 financial position deteriorated on all measures compared with 2019, and on all measures was the worst financial position since the Party emerged from debt in 2015.

@PamelaFitzNWC Yes I think that’s right, Pam. It’s the Wild West in @UKLabour

OPEN LETTER TO THE LABOUR LEFT

https://t.co/WoxlRjBrE8

[Jennie Formby @Jennieformby1]

I cannot see how expelling members for being 'guilty by association' in any way makes Labour more electable. Just look at the popularity of the 2017 election manifesto, imagine it without the PLP/media attacking the leadership and imagine what where we could be as a party.

Please sing and share in solidarity with @KenLoachSixteen and Bath comrades

[Nicola James @NAJ562]

Absolutely furious at Bath CLPs newly installed centrist EC ignoring all requests to put out a solidarity statement or convene a meeting to hear Emergency Motion in support of our much loved comrade & friend Ken Loach

Pls sign & share our Open Letter👇

Solidarity with @KenLoachSixteen and all those unjustly expelled and suspended

'Labour HQ finally decided I'm not fit to be a member of their party, as I will not disown those already expelled. Well...' KL

Former Labour MP Ruth Smeeth, who lied about being the victim of antisemitic abuse in 2018, was at the time listed as a 'strictly protect US informant'.

I wonder how many people knew this?

Wonder why she didn't tell anyone?

[Defend the Left - no bans and proscriptions! @DefendTheLeft]

@lara_eleanor You seem very proud about kicking out hundreds whose 'crime' is to stand in solidarity with many of those unjustly expelled and smeared, for example @Jackiew80333500, @Marcwads and @DerbyChrisW

[Defend the Left - no bans and proscriptions! @DefendTheLeft]

...so she voted to kick out hundreds of members whose 'crime' was to stand in solidarity with those who were unjustly suspended and expelled, like @Jackiew80333500, @DerbyChrisW, @Marcwads etc.

[Lara McNeill @lara_eleanor]

This was a hefty meeting & I unfortunately missed the end. For transparency on not necessarily the most important but more controversial issue - I voted for papers to auto-expel members of organisations besides Socialist Appeal.

@rogerwaters @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Thank you comrade @rogerwaters

[Socialist Campaign Group of Labour Councillors @SocialistCllrs]

As Tony Benn suggested, if the Labour Party could be bullied or persuaded to denounce its Marxists, the very notion of socialism itself could squeezed off the national agenda.

We urge all NEC members who believe in democracy and fairness to vote against tonight's proposals.

Good statement from left-wing NEC members. Sadly no word in opposition or solidarity from most MPs, including those in the Socialist Campaign Group...
