Labour has revealed its full list of candidates for the upcoming European elections, as selected by its ruling body the national executive committee (NEC) earlier this week.
Among those selected is Lord Andrew Adonis, who is second on the South West region list after incumbent Clare Moody.
The NEC also selected Momentum’s national co-ordinator Laura Parker, a left-wing pro-Remain activist who is in favour of another referendum and a supporter of anti-Brexit group Another Europe is Possible.
But above Parker on the same list – for London – is Katy Clark, an ally of Jeremy Corbyn. Clark used to work for the Labour leader as his political secretary. A former MP, she led the party’s democracy review last year and took a job in the general secretary’s office.
If Labour keeps the same number of London MEPs in the elections next month, both Parker and Clark would be elected.
Eloise Todd, CEO of anti-Brexit organisation Best for Britain, has also been selected. If successful, she would join fellow Remain and public vote campaigner Richard Corbett in representing Yorkshire and the Humber.
The NEC agreed that all of those who are already in post would automatically be put at the top of their regional list.
Below is the full list of Labour candidates for each European regional constituency.
