Labour bars feminist groups from conference

Filia and the Labour Women's Declaration have been refused permission to have stands at the Labour party conference.

Although the group had had their application approved in March, this was reviewed and subsequently rescinded. Labour claim on 'purely commercial' grounds.

Is that a fair-ish article from the Guardian? Very odd.

I should add Labour denies the groups were barred. See 'purely commercial', above.

Filia on Facebook:

'FiLiA was also refused a stall. This represents a continuation of the attack on organisations and individuals who value and defend sex-based rights.'
