In what way? He was briefly a party member and active in the Socialist League, true, but his notability is from his time in the SLP and CPGB - I don't believe he was ever an office holder in the Labour Party or candidate for it. Warofdreams talk 18:48, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is significant in terms of his political trajectory and particularly what was happening at that time.Leutha (talk) 22:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, I don't understand - in what way is his brief membership of Labour a defining characteristic? That he left the CPGB, sure, but not membership of Labour. Warofdreams talk 23:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
