Communist party campaigners decorate Labour MP's office with ‘under new management’ posters

COMMUNIST PARTY election campaigners and supporters of Palestinians decorated the office of Blaenau Gwent Labour MP Nick Smith on Saturday with “under new management” posters.

They announced the new occupant as Robert Griffiths, who is contesting the reorganised constituency of Blaenau Gwent & Rhymney on July 4, for which Mr Smith is also a candidate.

Campaigners intended to challenge Mr Smith over his failure to vote for a ceasefire in Gaza and his refusal both to condemn Israeli actions in the occupied Palestinian territories and to oppose British arms exports to Israel’s armed forces.
