Mobilise support for Corbyn – he must be on Labour’s ballot paper

Tomorrow (Tuesday 26 July) the Labour right is challenging in the High Court the decision of Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to put Jeremy Corbyn on the ballot paper in the current leadership contest. Having lost the vote at the 12 July NEC the right now wants a High Court judge to block Labour’s membership from being allowed to express its democratic view on who should be leader.

Labour right aren’t defeated yet. All out for Corbyn!

The coup plotters in the Labour Party have suffered a significant set-back with the decision of Labour’s NEC not to prevent Jeremy Corbyn from being on a leadership ballot. Thwarting this blatant denial of democracy, by 18 to 14 votes, is an important victory for the leader, the entire Corbyn movement and Labour’s membership.
