Today, I (Hannah Fordham) and four other Labour Party members won our High Court case against the Labour Party’s decision to take away nearly 130,000 new members’ right to vote in the leadership election. The Court’s ruling is a victory for democracy within our Party and country.

When we joined the Labour Party, we were told we would be able to vote in any leadership election.

After Labour’s National Executive Committee ruled that we weren’t allowed to vote, we took the decision to challenge its decision in court. We crowdfunded our legal costs and the High Court has now recognised our right to vote.

However, we understand the Labour Party are considering appealing this decision. If they do so, they will be spending Labour Party members’ money on trying to stop members from voting, money that could be much better spent on defeating the Tories.

We are urging the Labour Party to respect democracy and not waste members’ money on trying to prevent a quarter of its membership from voting.
