Ex-Labour councillors call elections conference
FORMER Labour councillors from across the country have called a conference to plan electoral opposition to the party’s present war-mongering.
The initiative has been taken by many of the more than 100 local authority representatives who have quit the party in protest at Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer’s all-out backing for Israeli aggression against Palestinians.
The conference, called No Ceasefire No Vote — after a popular slogan at recent Palestine solidarity rallies — targets those Labour MPs in particular who have joined Sir Keir in refusing to call for an end to the Israeli assault on Gaza.
