🔴 BREAKING: Labour conference delegates expelled for being Socialist Appeal supporters 🔴
Scandalously, a number of delegates to Labour Party conference have been expelled from the party just a day ahead of the start of conference.
Scandalously, a number of delegates to Labour Party conference have been expelled from the party just a day ahead of the start of conference.
The reason for their expulsion is their support for Socialist Appeal.
Evidence used to justify these expulsions include: membership of a public Facebook group which has thousands of members; taking photos at public meetings; and even just being interviewed by Socialist Appeal!

The fact this is occurring just before the conference kicks off clearly shows this is a deliberate act of gerrymandering by Starmer and the right wing to get rid of socialist delegates.
They know they can’t beat the left in a fair fight. As usual, they are resorting to brazenly bureaucratic methods to try and tip the balance of forces on the conference floor.
This again shows the complete contempt Starmer and his Blairite cronies have for the members. These delegates were democratically-elected by their CLPs to represent rank-and-file members at conference.
But for the ‘crime’ of being staunch socialists and unapologetic Marxists they have been expelled.
This follows on from the barring of Socialist Appeal journalists from Labour conference.

As with all previous Labour conferences, Socialist Appeal editorial board members Rob Sewell and Adam Booth applied for press access. But this year they were denied approval on political grounds - told that they ‘do not share Labour’s aims and values!
Meanwhile, reactionary rags such as the Sun and the Daily Mail will be allowed in, no questions asked!
We call on grassroots activists across the labour movement to denounce these attacks on democracy and press freedoms, and to mobilise at conference this week to take the fight to the right.
For those in Brighton tomorrow (or watching online), come meet the Marxists that Starmer hates at the Socialist Appeal fringe meeting: ‘Why are they really banning us?’
