Interim Council Statement on PLP Discontent

A statement from Mainstream's Interim Council on discontent and developing events in Parliament.

On Friday, we issued a statement calling for an orderly transition and an open, democratic contest in the event of a leadership challenge after Labour's results on 7th May.

Tonight, we restate the need for a timetable for an orderly transition to a new leadership. This must include a meaningful debate, with all of Labour's best players on the pitch, about our party's future and our offer to the public.

For the sake of the country, we must get this right.
