DEFEND BLACK SECTION DEFEND PHIL MURPHY who called for a vote for the SDP candidate in Islington North at the last election. What disciplinary action is being proposed against Roy Grantham who urged voting for the Liberal candidate in a 1983?

Like other campaigns and pressure groups, within the party, the Black Section fights for particular policies to be adopted. It has every right to do so. The Black Section opposes all expulsions including of right wingers such as Roy Hattersley, who have the right to express their views but no right to expel those who disagree. Every Labour Party member should condemn the witch hunt now taking place against the Labour Party Black Section - and demand that Phil Murphy is Labour group and that no disciplinary action is taken against Sharon Atkin, Phil Murphy, Linda Bellos or any other member of the Labour Party Black Section.
