Labour’s annual conference in Brighton approved plans to create three new NEC places to hand local parties more power and to reflect the huge increase in party membership under Corbyn.
An extra place was also created for trade unions and shopworkers’ union Usdaw filled the slot to reflect its own growing membership.
Party centrists calculate that Usdaw’s seat meant the NEC was finely balanced with 18 pro-Corbyn members and 18 “Corbyn-sceptic” members.
But the three further CLP seats will ensure that the party leader has control of the party’s most important decision making body.
Jon Lansman chair of Momentum whose executive Thameside flat worth £1.4M is the registered address for the organisation is one candidate, Momentum sent an email to supporters confirming Lansman was on its list of four nominations for the NEC, which will be narrowed down to three contenders after consultation with the Centre Left Grassroots Alliance (CLGA) next week.
Other nominees are Yasmine Dar, a councillor in Moston, Manchester; Rachel Garnham, a local party secretary in Mid Bedfordshire and member of the National Policy Forum; and Cecile Wright, the vice chair of Momentum.
Tom Watson must be worried having said Momentum was an entryist organisation ( one that plans to move in and take over ) that threatened to destroy Labour. A lot of other MPs will be under threat of deselection once they have control.
The real Jeremy will be unleashed (or the real power behind the throne will emerge)
