Party’s left ‘should form single group’

LEFT Labour activists should capitalise on the strong performance of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign by uniting into one powerful organisation, Labour executive member Martin Mayer said at the weekend.

Mr Mayer, a Unite activist who represents trade unions on Labour’s top body, made the call in a speech at the Red Star festival on Saturday.

He suggested that the likes of the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy and the Labour Representation Committee should form a single Labour left group.
