At Labour conference in Manchester, for three days running constituency Labour parties (CLPs) have been silenced and their rights ignored.
On Sunday, CLP delegate Maggie Dunn went to the rostrum to complain that debates on rule changes proposed last year by Bridgend and Islington North might not be allowed because of an NEC rule change only finalised that day.
Several delegates moved reference back on the Conference Arragements Committee (CAC) report on this issue, as is their right. The conference Chair, Michael Cashman, ignored them and went straight to the vote on the CAC report.
