Birmingham Yardley members to vote on whether to hold full selection for next general election

Jess Phillips

Birmingham Yardley MP Jess Phillips is currently promoting her new book – after telling the SKWAWKBOX at the end of last year that “I’m writing no book” – but on Monday she faces a vote by all four branches of Birmingham Yardley CLP (constituency Labour party) on whether she should face a contest to remain as the area’s MP:

Phillips’ neighbour, Roger Godsiff, was ‘triggered‘ earlier this week, with Barking MP Margaret Hodge suffering the same result the week before.

Yardley reportedly only has some five hundred Labour members. In spite of her book promotion, Ms Phillips is said to have been working hard trying to cultivate their favour.
