NEWS that Streatham CLP Constituency Labour Party (CLP), former stomping ground of flip-flopping Liberal Democrat Chuka Umunna, has affiliated to Stop the War Coalition signals an ever-growing shift in the grassroots direction of the Labour Party on issues of war and peace.
Having democratised the local party by switching to an all-member meeting format in January, the people of Streatham have taken an overwhelming decision to “turn around from [the] old war-supporting regime” and embrace the leadership of veteran anti-war campaigner Jeremy Corbyn by supporting the work of Stop the War.
While a Labour MP, Umunna consistently voted for war and intervention, as well as the replacement of Trident.
