Unease in Labour NEC as expelled party members’ appeals all rejected

Fairness of disciplinary process questioned as all appeals by expelled members dealt with to date have failed

Labour has so far rejected all appeals it has dealt with by members expelled for breaking party rules, its governing body has revealed, prompting questions over the fairness of the disciplinary process.

Party officials told the national executive committee (NEC) that 62 applications for appeal had been judged to have failed by the independent law firm that advises on complaints.
