BRITAIN’S Communist Party is calling on all socialists and progressive-minded people not to vote for any member of Labour’s shadow cabinet at the forthcoming election.

Communist Party general secretary Rob Griffiths made the appeal at its political committee on Tuesday night.

“This the clearest, most consistent way to show our opposition to Labour’s sharp turn to the right under Keir Starmer’s direction, for which all shadow cabinet members must bear collective responsibility,” he said.
