UK Labour Party 'ordered MPs not to join anti-racist protests'
Labour MP Clive Lewis attended a demonstration in apparent defiance of the ban
The UK’s ruling Labour Party allegedly ordered its MPs not to attend anti-racist demonstrations on Wednesday.
According to journalist Owen Jones, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Chief Whip Alan Campbell made the order “via a virtual call” on Wednesday morning.
Jones is a former member of the party and was part of its left-wing faction before quitting because of Labour's centrist turn under Keir Starmer.
