COMMENT: 'Labour is conservative on black representation' says ex-Black Sections chair Marcwads
PRESSURE: Ex-chair of the Labour Party Black Sections Marc Wadsworth says party still suffering from same problemshas been blocked by Keir Starmer’s national party machine from being a contender to become MP for the largely African Caribbean and Asian Camberwell and Peckham constituency brought back bad memories for me.
That included shamefully preventing black Haringey council deputy leader Martha Osamor, who had been democratically selected by the local Vauxhall party and was my vice-chair, from being their candidate. Instead, he imposed Kate Hoey, a white candidate, who went on to become the MP after a by-election.
Grassroots Black Left, successor to the Black Sections and a four-year-old Labour pressure group I co-founded, has, along with other similar groups, called out the appalling shortage of African Caribbean men on parliament’s Labour benches.
