PRESS STATEMENT:

#OpenSelection is a grassroots initiative by ordinary #Labour members.
We have NEVER been encouraged or contacted by @jeremycorbyn or anyone from his office,@uklabour HQ, or the front bench.

(thread)

theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
We respect @jeremycorbyn as the democratically-elected leader of @uklabour. But if he asked us to stop the campaign, we would NOT. Sorry.

We have had to wait 18 months for our #OpenSelection motion to be debated at #LabourConference and will not pull out now.
Our campaign is for Labour members to have a democratic vote on the BEST Labour candidate for their seat. Every election.

It's not about a 'purge' - it's about a principle.

Hope that puts your minds at ease, @guardian & @angelasmithmp! 😌
