LABOUR campaigners won an important victory this week when, in a grudging letter, the party’s head of disputes rescinded the expulsion of a lifelong campaigner for human rights and social justice.
Just a week after the Labour Party conference, professor Moshé Machover was summarily expelled for allegedly breaching party rules on two counts: for writing “an apparently anti-semitic article,” and for supporting two organisations whose “aims and principles are incompatible with those of the Labour Party.” He was placed under investigation for the first, and immediately expelled for the second.
The two organisations in question are Labour Party Marxists and the Communist Party of Great Britain (provisional central committee), the group running the Weekly Worker publication.
