Members of North-West Cambridgeshire and Peterborough CLPs address supporters of left-wing Labour Party groups at a protest lobby outside the party's headquarters. The lobby was organised to coincide with a Labour Party National Executive Committee meeting during which it was asked to proscribe four organisations, Resist, Labour Against the Witchhunt, Labour In Exile and Socialist Appeal, members of which could then be automatically expelled from the Labour Party.
