A leading union is demanding that the decision to "exclude" a Nottinghamshire councillor from being Labour's candidate in Broxtowe next year is revisited. Greg Marshall, who represents Beeston West on Broxtowe Borough Council, has been Labour's candidate in the area for the last two general elections.
At the election in 2019, Councillor Marshall lost to the Conservative candidate Darren Henry, whilst in 2017 he lost to Anna Soubry. But at the latter election, he increased Labour's vote share by nearly 10%.
With the next general election expected in 2024, political parties are currently going through the process of deciding who their candidates will be. This decision is entirely down to the parties concerned and their members.
