Stella Creasy’s deputy leadership campaign is hit by online glitch

Given that Labour’s next deputy leader will need to take on a pivotal role when it comes to both campaigning and communicating on behalf of the party, Stella Creasy’s campaign took a hit over the weekend.

A message about a conference call taking place today was sent to a number of Labour supporters who had no involvement – or interest – in a telephone campaign meeting. Creasy hastily sent an email apology:

‘Of course, I would love to have a conference call with each and everyone of you!’ the Labour MP told disgruntled recipients. If only the feeling was mutual.
