Wood Green CLP and PPC for Hastings THE RIGHT wing is pushing Pater Shore for leader. It was i fundamental mistake for I ay Benn not to run for cater this year.

On paper the Right looks Et a strong position now. But toe fecting is strong in the party. w ad the situation can des age gaickt!. The register al te resisted throughout the party. This mates the Acrober 30 conference very The key to it is the trade enice We must get into the unions and deal with the back rotes Jeremy Corbyn THE RIGHT wing have engineered a victory for themselves this week.

Those that fought bitterly against all the major planks of Labour's programme have now got an NEC stuffed full of apologists for the last Labour goyemment and yes-people.

It is quite clear that the register is the advance-guard for expulsions. Although the Right differ on numbers and who they want to have expelled, the purpose is clear. to get active socialists out of the party, and to allow for the election of a Labour government that will not challenge the forces that are determined to prevent us carrying out our policies.

There appears to be some peculiar and perverse belief that if the party "cleanses' itself of the Militant, then the press will be kind and support will return.

This obvious hypocrisy must be defeated. Support for Labour among the worstoff people is directly proportional to belief in Labour's determination to provide jobs, houses, and opportunities.

Opposition to the register was almost total among constituency parties. Our job is to organise in defence of socialists under threat, and oppose every expulsion. -The Hackney North CLP/ Unregistered Alliance conference on October 30 must be the start in this.
