Labour tried to gag me, says trade unionist
A trade unionist today accused British Labour leaders of trying to gag him on the conference floor as he tried to bring his campaign for Northern Ireland people to be granted membership to a wider audience.
Deputy shop steward Andy McGivern, who has been lobbying British Labour conference delegates all week to force the Labour party to open up party membership to people in Northern Ireland, claimed he was prevented on two occasions this week from raising the issue on the conference floor in Blackpool, UK.
