Description

Expelled Labour MP Dave Nellist talks to reporter Des Fahy ahead of a Labour Party meeting to select a new candidate to contest Nellist’s seat in Coventry South East. Nellist, expelled for being a supporter of the Militant Tendency, may stand as an independent candidate in the next election. Nellist says that the decision to expel him was a sham of democracy and an outside candidate could not win his seat.
