LP loses 20 per d-left takeover

weeks — but reductions at CLPs like Hampstead and Kilburn would support claims of a big drop in numbers over the past year.

The JC can also reveal a string of notorious hard-left activists were elected into leading roles at Hampstead and Kilburn CLP during a stormy annual general meeting last month.

Hard-line anti-Zionist Moshe Machover, who overturned a move to expel him from the Labour Party in October, was elected as the CLP’s Political Officer.

Mr Machover, who was born in Tel Aviv, last year accused the “pro-Israel lobby” of driving the attacks on Mr Corbyn.

Pete Firmin was elected to the post of Trade Union Liaison at Hampstead and Kilburn CLP.

Mr Firmin is co-secretary of the Labour Representation Committee, the hard-left group that has argued against the adoption of the IHRA antisemitism definition.

He is also linked to the Labour Against The Witch-hunt group, which defends those in the party accused of antisemitism.

Sara Calloway was elected the CLP’s BAME representative. She called last year for the Jewish Labour Movement to be kicked out of the party for backing what she said was the “apartheid” state of Israel.

Sources confirmed on Monday that last month’s CLP AGM is now the subject of “numerous complaints” which the party has been asked to investigate.
