IN 2015, after Corbyn became Labour leader, there was a surge in the membership of Bristol North West’s local Labour Party, with the left on the rise. The executive committee (EC) of the local party achieved a socialist majority from 2017 and in 2019, the party elected an almost entirely socialist executive.
However, the constituency’s MP Darren Jones, together with his allies in Labour’s South West Regional Office, has undermined the progress of the left at every turn.
This has culminated in a full-scale campaign to remove, silence and ultimately replace socialists from the EC roles in the local party at a rigged annual general meeting earlier this month. This is why we have arranged a protest at the regional office on June 25.
