ONLY one Harlow Labour councillor has joined over 500 other Labour councillors across the country in asking Jeremy Corbyn to step down as leader of the Labour Party.

Harlow Common councillor, Maggie Hulcoop and nearly 550 Labour councillors, claim a breadth of opinion within the party and say they are “from a number a traditions within our movement”, including some who voted for Corbyn last year.They praise Corbyn as “an honourable man” and credit his record of public service, particularly in local government.

However, they say he is “unable to command the confidence of the whole party”, and say a new leadership is needed to represent communities at a time when the “country is facing a crisis” in the wake of last week’s Brexit vote.
