The GMB leadership are breaking a Congress mandate to consult members on ‘supporting nomination’ for Labour Leadership election. The usual suspects support this, members had their say when they elected delegates to Congress and it’s not a good use of money, the money would be better spent recruiting members to affiliated membership of the Labour Party, and let them take part in the decision not fanny around getting you and the CEC of the hook of an embarrassing mandate; I would be interested in hearing the full story though.
If you are a member of one of the Unions affiliated to the Labour Party, were a member before the 12th Jan., and pay the political levy you can still register to vote in the Leadership election, by using https://support.labour.org.uk/
