LABOUR’S membership has fallen by 10,850 in the past four weeks, according to reports.
The rush to join to vote for Jeremy Corbyn saw the party peak at 554,000 members. However, leaked documents suggest many of those are letting their membership lapse.
Documents leaked to the Times show that 26,000 members have disappeared since last July.
Last week alone, numbers fell by 6,450. Most of those failed to renew membership, while 692 actively resigned, far outstripping the 334 people who signed up.
According to Labour’s weekly membership key performance indicators report, the main reason for the active resignations was the direction of the party and policy over Brexit.
And Labour could be about lose another member, with Ken Livingstone going in front of an internal party hearing tomorrow to determine whether he will be reinstated or expelled after the anti-Semitism row that engulfed Labour last year.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
