Diane Abbott leads protests over decision to bar Maurice Mcleod from the contest to represent Camberwell and PeckhamA POPULAR anti-racism campaigner blocked by Labour from becoming an MP has slammed the ‘factional’ decision taken by officials behind the scenes.– who was backed by MPs Diane Abbott, Bell Riberio-Addy and John McDonnell – was kicked out of the selection contest in Camberwell and Peckham, a seat with the highest black population in Britain.
He had won the backing of Unite the Union, and a local Left caucus, including Peoples Momentum, who endorsed him as their candidate. “I’m sad that Labour sees no place in its ranks for black and brown socialists like me who have fought relentlessly for racial justice.” Labour have already picked general election candidates in 36 held or winnable seats where there is a vacancy, and none of them have a male or female black African or Caribbean candidate.
