DURHAM University students have been given the green light to campaign for Labour again, after the local student body backed down on its canvassing ban on the club.
Earlier this month, Durham University Labour Club (DULC) was told by Durham Students Union (DSU) that its membership of the students’ union had been suspended for organising canvasses for Labour in defensive marginals such as Bishop Auckland.
DSU claimed that its status as a registered charity would be breached if DULC campaigned for Labour, despite the club having decades of campaigning history behind it.
