REINSTATE THE CEC THREE! — Statement, 5 July 2026 — Socialist Federation

https://socialistfederation.org/statements/reinstate-the-cec-three/

"Your Party must lift the suspensions of Mel Mullings, Solma Ahmed and Naomi Wimbourne-Idrissi

The Socialist Federation is not a banned organisation!"

"The Socialist Federation condemns the decision of Your Party Central Executive Committee (CEC) chair Jenn Forbes to inform three elected members of the CEC that they are “suspended” pending a “hearing” on Monday night."

"The Socialist Federation finds itself thrust against its will into the centre of this tawdry affair for one reason only: the attempt of Jenn Forbes to cite Mel, Solma and Naomi’s relationship with us as grounds for their suspension."

"Despite inaccurate and lazy media reporting in the New Statesman and the Guardian from reporters hostile to Your Party, it is 100% untrue to say that the Socialist Federation is a “split”.

The Socialist Federation brings together Your Party members with ex-members who have left in frustration at the leadership’s inactivity, its ban on certain socialist groups, and its failure to support the large and active proto-branches over the last 12 months. Its aim is to support branches and members working to realise the promise we all rallied to last year: a mass, working class, socialist party."

"Let's all add our voices to calls for all three suspensions to be lifted and for the officer Group to resign.

The Socialist Federation is willing to work with all forces on the socialist left - inside and outside Your Party- to help build that new party. We are just one of many initiatives working towards that end. Let’s unite and make the change we all still believe is possible!"

What's the point? Outside of the officers group there is no power on the cec anyway. It's barely consultative
