Hall Green CLP needs to Deselect Roger Godsiff

The Issue

Roger Godsiff has been a Labour Party M.P. since 1992 and Hall Greens M.P. since 2010 despite not reflecting the views of many of his party of constituents. Since becoming Hall Green M.P. Godsiff has abstained on the legalisation of gay marriage, supported Brexit (despite a majority remain vote in his constituency) and now he has voiced opposition to the teaching of equalities including LGBTQIA+ elements on an equal footing in a local school. This lack of a robust challenge of homophobia and interest in all of his constituents has caused many who he represents feeling unrepresented. Therefore we call for the deselection of Roger Godsiff at the next general election by the Constituency Labour Party.
