Constituency Labour Party

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, I think Holborn and St Pancras is super interesting in terms of the Camden Labour Party-

Yeah

... or the Holborn and St Pancras Labour Party, because I would say that that Labour Party is, that CLP was, is essentially made in Keir Starmer's image.

I think there have been concerns for some time that Labour organisationally is not as focused as it could be.

I mean, the party membership is down to 11,000, and I was doing an interview yesterday with a Labour Party member for something else I do at the weekend, a Labour Party member of 63 years standing who was telling me that when you go along to constituency Labour Party meetings, you might get a couple of dozen people there if you are lucky, whereas back in the heyday in constituency parties, you would get a couple of hundred people turning out.

So there are organisational questions which have to be addressed.

Do they have the right general secretary? Are a lot of people who are responsible for organising the party in Scotland, who were clearly very close to Anas Sarwar, are these the right people to take the party forward under his leadership? Now I suspect, and this is just the case when you get new leaders in political parties, there may well be some bloodletting around some organisational issues.

not a good look and it's caught on camera couldn't have drawn up a worse picture for labour and keir starmer's old constituency if you had peter mandelson on hand involved with a whiteboard and a sharpie pen because gaza of course isn't some passing irritation in holborn and st pancras it infamously cut starmer's vote almost in half in 2024 despite labour's supposed landslide victory A neighbour's answer, now that Starmer's scarpered from Parliament altogether, is to select one of his most loyal local defenders.

Brilliant if you want to win a prize for missing the point, isn't it? Anthony Wiley was chair of Starmer's constituency Labour Party prior to taking the lead on Camden Council.

When Andrew Feinstein accused Starmer of causing divisions in that party back in 2020, she stood up for him.

She defended him, saying he led from the top, preached unity and respect, and that they were proud to have him as their Member of Parliament.
