| Under pressure: Croydon Labour Leader facing revolt |
SENIOR sources inside the Croydon Labour party have publicly
criticised the group’s disastrous campaign that is threatening to see the party
walk into its third straight election defeat, The Croydon Gazette can reveal.
Senior sources within the group gave exclusive quotes to
local newspaper The Croydon Advertiser
revealing the extent of split within the group. The source said, “There have
been many concerns with how the Labour Group has been managed over a
significant period of time. Regrettably many of those strands are coming
together at a most unwelcome time. The lack of unity within the party is
diverting attend and efforts away from what is the major goal, which is to gain
power.”
Labour leader Tony Newman has come under severe criticism
for his mis-management of the campaign, which has seen the group AXE its only
domestic violence spokesperson, Karen Jewitt, who had campaigned to protect
women who have been battered by their partners. Jewitt had also been raising awareness
of online abuse and how violent wife beaters have been using Twitter and blogs to
attack the friends of their victims to isolate the person they are abusing.
A Tory source said, “The Croydon Labour group has said that
it wants to make tackling wife beaters a top priority, but their actions show
they are turning a blind eye to these monsters. Wife beaters are bullies and
cowards who lie and cheat their way through life - Karen was the voice against
them and sacking her sends out the wrong signal.”
Research should that wife beaters are using
sites like Twitter to target women.
