Wakefield is a must win by-election for the Labour party, a win will further reduce the Tories Parliamentary majority preventing further attacks on working people.

The GMB has a proud tradition of campaigning across Yorkshire, and we will do our part in the upcoming by-election to ensure a Labour victory.

This afternoon we concluded interviews on who to endorse as part of the upcoming selection for Labour candidate in Wakefield. Both candidates performed well but we have on this occasion decided not to endorse a candidate.

We wish the candidates well in the upcoming selection and look forward to campaigning for a Labour victory in the upcoming by-election.
