Rather than speculation and rumours, we’ll cover this selection and others sharing the facts.

We’re looking for members in Holborn and St Pancras CLP who are happy to share their experiences as local members through this selection.

🔴 HOLBORN & ST PANCRAS: I wonder if anyone was tipped off before Starmer resigned?

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

🚨 The NEC have agreed the below timetable for the selection of a candidate for the Holborn and St Pancras By-Election.

Applications close on Friday with a candidate selected by next Wednesday, 9th September.

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

With Sir Keir Starmer resigning as Member of Parliament for Holborn and St Pancras, there will now be a by-election.

We’ll be covering the selection process as Labour chooses its candidate for the North London seat.

🗳️🌹In terms of combined first preference votes, the slates achieved:

Labour to Win: 11,660
Mainstream: 9,073
Momentum: 8,540
Restoration: 3,404

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

🚨The NEC election results have been announced🚨

Headline results from the CLP division are:

-All four Labour to Win candidates are elected.
- Mainstream and Momentum have each elected 2/3 of their candidates.
- Restoration has secured one seat.

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

Labour to Win also secured both Local Govt division seats and electing Elsie Greenwood as Youth Rep.

It seems LtW’s voter management helped them secure more seats while Mainstream/Momentum/Restoration saw more uneven vote distribution.

🚨Monica Lennon has not made the ballot for the Scottish Labour leadership election.

🗳️ Members and affiliate members will choose between Michael Marra and Joe Fagan.

Supporting nominations open at 5pm.

Members will be balloted 28 August - 17 September.

Results 19 September.

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

Some people have messaged asking why there are so many affiliates, for this contest CLPs are counted in the “affiliate” section along with the Trade Unions and Socialist Societies.

Candidates need three nominations of which two have to be Trade Unions.

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌹
Michael Marra is leading the pack with nominations from 8 MSPs/21 MPs/20 affiliates.

Joe Fagan has comfortably made the ballot with 5 MSPs/6 MPs/14 affiliates.

Monica Lennon is fighting to make the ballot with 11 affiliate nominations, but still short one MSP and one MP.

[Labour Elects @LabElects]

Nominations close on Monday and candidates need 3 MSPs/3 MPs/3 affiliates to make the ballot.

So, it's crunch time for Lennon's campaign, all eyes on Carol Mochan MSP and the five MPs yet to nominate, particularly Lillian Jones MP and Patricia Ferguson MP.
