Socialists Penny Wrout, Fliss Premru and Claudia Turbet-Delof held a press conference outside the east London borough’s town hall.
Ms Wrout said they were leaving the party due to “the inadequacies about Labour’s national policies to address problems we have got at the moment but it’s also, crucially, about Labour’s lily-livered stand from the beginning on Gaza.”
She said Hackney Council needs “to act now” to sell its shares in an Israeli arms company “before the Tory government makes it illegal for them to do that.”
Imagine being this self-important.
