the 2017 Rule Book does not sanction based on disrepute but on conduct that is prejudicial or act Archived Message

that is grossly detrimental to the Party - as determined by the opinion of the NEC 2017 rule book: "Chapter 2 Clause I 8. No member of the Party shall engage in conduct which in the opinion of the NEC is prejudicial, or in any act which in the opinion of the NEC is grossly detrimental to the Party. Any dispute as to whether a member is in breach of the provisions of this subclause shall be determined by the NCC in accordance with Chapter 1 Clause IX above and the disciplinary rules and guidelines in Chapter 6 below. Where appropriate the NCC shall have regard to involvement in financial support for the organisation and/ or the activities of any organisation declared ineligible for affiliation to the Party under Chapter 1.II.5 or 3.C above; or to the candidature of the members in opposition to an officially endorsed Labour Party candidate or the support for such candidature. The NCC shall not have regard to the mere holding or expression of beliefs and opinions. Under Chapter 1 clause IX 4. "The NCC shall have the power to supplement such guidelines from time to time and to modify its procedures in order to meet the circumstances of any particular case to ensure fairness to both the individual and the Party." I thought JW had only been expressing her opinion which the NCC must ignore! Surely there is no case to answer here! cheers
