Emergency resolution: Solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn

Conference recognises that the Fire Brigades Union re-affiliation to the Labour Party in 2015 was in part due to the relationship that our union enjoyed with Jeremy Corbyn.

Conference notes with dismay the decision taken by the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party on 28th March 2023 which approved a motion from Keir Starmer to prevent Labour endorsing Jeremy Corbyn from standing as a Labour Party candidate.

Conference believes the decision taken by the National Executive Committee to be another step to rid the Labour Party of socialists.

Conference instructs the Executive Council, at the earliest opportunity, to seek the support of other trade unions and write to the leader of the Labour Party demanding the whip be restored to Jeremy Corbyn and that he be allowed to stand as a Labour Party candidate if chosen by the Constituency Labour Party.
