Quick NEC update - full report soon

I asked Keir if he accepted not restoring the whip to Jeremy continues to cause division within the party? others asked when the whip will be restored, we were told to ask the chief whip - I have emailed tonight.

I asked if Keir would accept, it’s time to step aside, for a leader who could win for Labour in 2024, if we lose the Batley & Spen by-election given our current disastrous polling. This was not answered

I asked Angela Rayner, given her new roles was she supportive of bringing back the Community Organising Unit. Angela stated how important community organising is, so I will follow this up for a more detailed response.

I asked Angela about the Islamophobia report relating to the Tories, it was heartening to hear Angela not shying away from the work we need to do ourselves, following the LMN report into Islamophobia within our party.

I moved a motion for Labour members to directly elect Labour Group leaders in line with Chapter 13, Clause XI of the rulebook. Unfortunately this fell but was supported by the left NEC reps & only the GV5 CLP reps.

I asked for clarification on the Forde Inquiry following a public FOI request which stated the ICO had not engaged or requested information / a delay to the Inquiry. Gemma Bolton also raised questions, so we will get a further update soon.

I raised concern about the amount of members leaving the party - Gemma Bolton also raised the alarming number of young members that continue to leave the party too.
