Labour apologises for telling youth section it could not invite Palestine Solidarity campaigners to speak at conference

THE Labour Party has been forced to apologise after wrongly telling its youth section that it could not invite members of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign to speak at a conference event. 

Activists from the campaign today questioned how they could have been considered as an illegitimate group, following reports that they would be prevented from taking part in Labour Party conference. 

Earlier this week Young Labour alleged that Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership team had blocked attempts to allow anyone from the campaign, as well as former party leader Jeremy Corbyn, to speak at fringe events.
