This meant current chair Solomon Cuthbertson was elected unopposed.
“I'm aghast that some people think the party's disciplinary process is a tool to be abused for an internal youth election,” he added. The supposed evidence – which The National has seen – was Taylor liking a series of tweets from Socialist Appeal predating July 2021. Most were images from the group’s appearance at a huge protest against the Tory Government’s police, crime, sentencing and courts bill. Others were critical of Labour’s move to proscribe the organisation over its marxist and socialist views.
“The winning candidate himself has said that he wished the campaign had taken place, so let’s make it happen for the sake of fairness and democracy in the Labour Party.” Aaron Caulfield, chair of Stirling University’s Labour Society, said that this sort of action was bringing a “great chilling effect” to the party.
