Unconfirmed reports on LabourHome suggest that four out of the five Grassroots Allliance candidates have made it on to the NEC. So well done to Ann Black, Peter Kenyon, Pete Willsman and Christine Shawcroft. The bad news is that it therefore looks as if Mohammed Azam didn't make it. Which is a serious shame.
Walter Wolfgang, who never pulled his punches in challenging the leadership, will also be sadly missed. I hope next time round the six-strong slate is more evenly divided between the centre and the left. AND democratically chosen.It would also help if there were no administrative hiccups ( which is why Fran Griffiths from Welsh Labiour Grassroots didn't make the final six)
