In response to the decision of the Labour Party NEC last week to boycott G4S Rt Hon Joan Ryan MP, Chair of LFI said:
“The Labour Party has a long-standing policy of oppositions to boycotts which the NEC’s decision directly contravenes. I am writing to the party’s general secretary, Iain McNicol, today to express my deep concern at this development, which I hope will now be urgently reviewed.
As I have consistently argued, boycotts are both wrong in principle by seeking to delegitimise Israel and do nothing to further the cause of peace, foster coexistence or assist the achievement of a two-state solution.”
