Labour leadership contenders to demand details of party’s efforts to block infiltrators

Labour is holding a meeting tomorrow morning with the different leadership camps to discuss how the party is dealing with infiltrators into its membership. The campaigns are particularly keen to find out the scale of the infiltration from each side – Tory and hard left – and how local parties are dealing with it.

I understand that one camp will ask for proportions of left-wing infiltrators from parties such as the Greens, Communist and TUSC, and from the Conservative side, as this is something Labour HQ hasn’t yet supplied. Opinions vary as to whether the hard left or Tories present the bigger problem.

There will not be any demands to halt the contest, though. Those attending are more interested in being reassured about the weeding-out process, particularly as it seems to have caught up some perfectly legitimate members.
