CLPD’s Response to the Divisive Sacking of Rebecca Long-Bailey

CLPD believes the sacking of Rebecca Long-Bailey from the Shadow Cabinet is an action that is totally unjustified. Many members who supported Keir Starmer’s election as Leader were not expecting such grand-standing like this.

Instead of seeking unity against a very right-wing Tory government, this promotes division within the Labour Party. Also every action or utterance by every Labour politician will be pored over by Labour’s opponents, in an attempt to find the slightest thing that can be used to put pressure on Keir. The Party’s opponents will want this to run and run.

Many party members believe that our Party should be uniting against the Tories and that Rebecca should be re-instated. Please sign this petition.
