6th January 2010
A statement by two former Labour cabinet ministers circulated today, calling for a secret ballot on Gordon Brown’s leadership.
John McDonnell MP, LRC Chair, said
“Rank and file Labour Party members will be aghast at the renewed factional infighting at the top of the Labour Party - just at a time when we are campaigning on people’s doorsteps to save a Labour Government.”
“People want changed policies and changed politics, not leadership coups. They want ministers and MPs to put the interests of the Party and the country before their political careers.”
