Starmer leadership 'stonewalling' Young Labour, chair says – and 'told it it would ban Palestine Solidarity speakers and Jeremy Corbyn from 'conference day'
Young Labour says it has had no contact from Sir Keir's office since he became leader – 'no acknowledgement we exist, no reply to emails, nothing'
YOUNG LABOUR (YL) warned that it is set to miss out on its traditional day at party conference this year as it accused Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership team of stonewalling the group.
YL chairwoman Jess Barnard said Labour told the group today that there is no capacity for due diligence checks on possible event speakers until September 20, just five days before the start of conference, potentially ruling out the YL day.
An annual YL meeting — which sees party members aged between 14 and 26 get together — is a requirement of Labour’s rulebook.
