Christchurch delegate Carol Wilcox

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.
