A member of the ruling committee of Momentum, Jill Mountford, has been expelled from the Labour party, and further members of the committee may face expulsions, sources at Labour party headquarters told the New Statesman.
Mountford has been expelled due to her membership of the Alliance for Workers’ Liberty, a Trotskyite grouping, for which she stood against Harriet Harman, then deputy leader of the Labour party, at the 2010 general election. The AWL is one of a number of “proscribed organisations”, largely to Labour’s left, with which membership of the Labour party is deemed incompatible.
