Labour CND, along with CLPD and Momentum, are calling on party members to urge their Labour MP to nominate Bell Ribeiro-Addy as a candidate for Deputy Leader. You can write to you MP using Momentum’s online email. All you have to do is enter your postcode, name and email address, and it will be forwarded to your MP.
This is urgent as there are only 2 days to do so – Tuesday 9th to Thursday 11th September. She must have 80 nominations from the PLP to get on the ballot.
Labour CND believes it’s crucial that a left wing voice is represented in the Deputy Leader contest. Bell is a principled socialist who’s unafraid to champion real Labour values, from migrants’ rights to wealth taxes. She is asking the party to examine why the Labour government is losing so much support, not to Reform UK – a false claim that’s often made – but to those parties which oppose the politics of Reform UK. If elected, she will be the first black woman Deputy Leader.
The government is spending more on warfare by shifting resources away from welfare and overcoming austerity Britain. This isn’t what Labour MPs were elected for. This agenda is losing Labour support and helping to strengthen the arguments of the far right.
We needs a progressive agenda that benefits benefit the people of Britain. We believe it’s also what the majority of party members want.
Please contact your Labour MPs today and urge them to make sure the Deputy Leadership contest is inclusive of Labour’s broad church.
Nominate Bell Ribeiro-Addy!
