The new leader of the Labour Party must have legitimacy or we risk another divisive, expensive leadership contest and losing public credibility. Across the country we are seeing widespread infiltration. Tories, Greens and the hard left are all registering to vote in the leadership election. These people do not support the values of the Labour Party and in many cases are actively trying to damage it. We are calling for an immediate halt to the leadership contest until proper checks can be done to our membership and supporters. The Electoral Reform Society have called for the contest to be postponed. Party staff and members are working hard to spot infiltrators but they are overworked and under-resourced. This petition is not endorsing any candidate and is open to all across the party. This election could irrevocably damage our party, we have to fight to preserve it. Please share this.
