.@PeoplesMomentum only came on board our #OpenSelection campaign 2 weeks before Conference.

But AT Conference, Momentum NCG member @Leigh_Drennan spoke FOR the trigger ballot fix that killed OS & deprived Conference of a democratic vote. 😖

(THREAD) Here’s the excerpt from Conference.

1st @MattWrack of @fbunational speaking AGAINST the trigger ballot fix, then @Leigh_Drennan speaking FOR (& praising it as ‘prime steak’) 😳

PRESS STATEMENT:

#OpenSelection is a grassroots initiative by ordinary #Labour members.
We have NEVER been encouraged or contacted by @jeremycorbyn or anyone from his office,@uklabour HQ, or the front bench.

(thread)

theguardian.com/politics/2018/… We respect @jeremycorbyn as the democratically-elected leader of @uklabour. But if he asked us to stop the campaign, we would NOT. Sorry.

We have had to wait 18 months for our #OpenSelection motion to be debated at #LabourConference and will not pull out now.
