Labour’s Civil Service under Crooked Iain McNicol
Goes All Out to Prevent People Voting
Brighton meeting for Corbyn |
Last year when Jeremy
Corbyn stood about 200 people gathered in the Jury’s Inn Hotel by Brighton
Station to listen to him speak. This
time a gigantic hall in the Metropole Hotel, which held up to 1,200 people
heard him speak. And another 500
gathered outside. It was a truly amazing
rally the likes of which hasn’t been seen in Brighton for decades. There is no doubting the welling in support
not only in the Labour movement but amongst many ordinary people for Jeremy
Corbyn. It follows on the amazing scenes
in Liverpool the previous day when so many people came to hear Corbyn, up to 10,000, that the Police were forced to close roads in the Liverpool city centre.

There were a number of
warm up speakers in the main meeting in Brighton whilst Corbyn addressed a 500
strong crowd in nearby Regency Square who couldn’t get in. Corbyn addressed the crowd from an FBU engine. A local commuter, a Labour candidate in the
local elections, Poppy Birt – a single mum in Momentum all spoke. The meeting was Chaired by Sara Pickett, a
UNISON activist in the local Trades Council and also Momentum. Local councillor Kevin Allen, who is the sole
Corbyn supporter in a New Labour Council.

I bumped into Corbyn before
the meeting and we exchanged a few words.
He said he knew about my suspension but I didn’t press him about
it! What is clear from today’s article
in Huffington Post is that one of the most pressing tasks is to get a grip on
the Labour bureaucracy after he wins.

According to the article
[Up
To 50,000 ‘Registered Supporter’ Applicants In Labour Leadership Election Set
To Be Rejected] the Labour bureaucracy is working overtime to reduce the number
of registered supporters entitled to vote.
Working from an out of date electoral register they are looking to
exclude people for any excuse they can find – because they are not on the electoral
register or they have supported or stood for parties standing against Labour in
previous elections or their cheques have bounced.

This is outrageous. New Labour actively welcomed Tories coming
over to Labour. It welcomed people from
the SDP who had stabbed Labour in the back in the 1980’s. It has welcomed people from UKIP but it seeks
to purge anyone who has supported a party or group to the left of Labour.

It is incumbent on Corbyn
and the narrow left majority on the National Executive Committee to stop
McNicol in his tracks and to order him not to try and gerrymander the
result. If Ann Black, who single
handedly suspended Brighton Labour Party on the basis of false and lying
accusations, doesn’t vote to reign in the bureaucracy it must be the last time
the Left ever supports her.

Once again there may
be a need for more crowd funding for a legal action to stop McNicol in his
tracks. And the first thing Corbyn should
do when he wins is to send McNicol packing along with Stollard and the rest of
the ‘Compliance’ Unit.
