CLP delegate expelled days before Labour conference after 30 years' membership
Christchurch delegate Carol Wilcox

A DELEGATE to the Labour conference expelled just days ahead of its opening in Liverpool has spoken to the Morning Star of her “sadness” at the decision and the loss of representation it means for her constituency party (CLP).

Christchurch delegate Carol Wilcox, her CLP’s only delegate to the conference, was informed on Wednesday that she had been excluded from the party after more than 30 years’ active membership.

Her “offence” was having shared online posts by proscribed groups Labour Against the Witch Hunt and the Labour in Exile Network — before they were banned.
