Labour left wins out at party election
Livingstone tops the ballot
LABOUR members yesterday rejected Blairite candidates in favour of party leftwingers in a key internal election.
Rightwinger Peter Wheeler was booted off the party’s national executive committee (NEC) in favour of NHS worker Kate Osamor, who stood on the left-wing Grassroots Alliance slate.
Ms Osamor told the Star: “I’m really chuffed with this result. Now I’ll be working to win the next election and make sure a Labour government delivers a proper anti-austerity alternative.”
