Your Party’s CEC must investigate breach of rules. An allegation reported in @TheCanaryUK on Feb 11 suggests that a member of the founding conference arrangements team issued personal invitations for members to attend who had not been chosen by sortition. Here’s our statement 👇

Thank you @RedRosa91940184 , that’s amazing coming from you! Voting starts today in the Your Party election CEC elections. A top chore has to be making the party genuinely inclusive - a welcoming home for the whole left, fighting for the rights of everyone facing discrimination or oppression based on disability, gender, sexual orientation, race, faith or family background. No one left behind! Meetings have to be face to face where possible, hybrid or online where necessary, recognising that many people can’t attend in person and others lack internet access. Everyone must be able to engage actively. One Member One Vote may be fine for this election, but not for complex policy decisions. @Grassroots_Left @PlatformforaDP
