Sir Keir Starmer has failed to win immediate trade union backing for his plans to change the way Labour chooses party leaders, amid a deepening row over his proposed reforms
A joint statement from Labour and Mick Whelan, chairman of the Trade Union and Labour Party Liaison Organisation , revealed that talks would continue ahead of the Brighton conference beginning on Sunday.
"Keir Starmer and Labour's affiliated trade union leaders had a positive meeting this afternoon to discuss the rule changes that the Labour leader would like to bring to conference in Brighton," the statement read. "There was broad consensus on the need to refocus the Labour Party on the country and concerns of working people.Sir Keir himself described Wednesday's talks as"positive" and said he would"look forward to continuing those conversations through the coming days because the principles are important and we have to look at how we need to change to win again".
Former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell says Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer “is opening himself to charges of dishonesty” by wanting to change the party’s leadership voting system.
