THE future of the Labour Party will be debated at a meeting in Hereford.

The Hereford and South Hereford Labour Party has called a special general meeting which will take place at 7pm on Wednesday, July 27 at the Railway Club.

It follows weeks of turmoil for the party nationally after the Parliamentary Labour Party adopted a vote of 'no confidence' in the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.

Following a challenge to his leadership mounted by Angela Eagle, a fresh vote of Labour Party members will be required to elect a new leader or to re-elect Jeremy Corbyn.

Members and registered or affiliated supporters of the Hereford and South Herefordshire Labour Party are invited to join in the arguments as to the direction of travel of the Labour Party and who should lead it into the next general election to become the next Prime Minister.

Voting in the ballot for the election of the party leader is restricted to Labour Party members and affiliated supporters who joined through their trade union.

Those planning to attend the meeting are asked to take their membership card with them for potential verification.
