A row has broken out within Welsh Labour as it emerged that a former Birmingham MP is to challenge ex-First Minister Carwyn Jones for his seat on Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee.
Lynne Jones, who represented Birmingham Selly Oak from 1992 until 2010, is hoping to become Wales’ representative on the NEC following a contest with Mr Jones later this year.
She has the backing of the left wing Momentum group that was set up to support Jeremy Corbyn when he was party leader, and of its Welsh affiliate Welsh Labour Grassroots.
