20 year-old Jake Morrison’s last ditch plea to Miliband to save his position in the party has fallen on deaf ears. Luciana Berger’s attempt to purge him yesterday has been successful:

Sadly I have just been informed I am suspended from The Labour Party. I am Labour through and through, and I hope this matter is resolved.

I've experienced bullying before. Now I won't put up with any dictatorial or intimidating behaviour from anyone. We should stand up to it.

It does seem particularly unfair that a young councillor just beginning his career in politics, who has given his life to the party, should be knifed merely because he had the temerity to stand up for himself rather than toe the party line. Even more so considering he was forced out by Berger, when surely a councillor should be accountable to his voters rather than his local MP. Dissenters have been warned…
