Breaking: Labour bans Young Labour and Palestine Solidarity from conference – so they move to The World Transformed

Labour betrays its official youth section and says Palestine Solidarity Campaign from annual conference – so the left steps up

The determination of the Labour party under Keir Starmer to alienate its core voters appear to know no bounds – and young people appear to be especially reviled.

As Young Labour chair Jess Barnard revealed on Twitter, the party broke its own rules to cancel Young Labour’s annual conference – and turned its back on plans to hold a Young Labour day at its main annual conference this month in Brighton to Labour’s official youth section, despite repeated attempts by her to persuade the party to fulfil its responsibilities:

Barnard also exposed Labour’s ban on ‘anyone from Palestine Solidarity campaign’ (PSC) taking part, as well as former party leader Jeremy Corbyn:

Keir Starmer has signalled his intent to ‘move away’ from his pledges of reducing poverty, inequality and injustice – along with everything else he promised during his campaign to get elected as leader – so such appalling conduct by the party is entirely unsurprising, as well as unsurprisingly stupid. But now, in a move that smacks of expert ‘trolling’ as well as solidarity, the The World Transformed left festival, which runs alongside the Labour conference, has announced that both Young Labour and PSC will hold a headline session at the event:

As one insider told Skwawkbox:

There’ll be a lot of centrist piss boiling right now.
