See here for a rule change the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy is supporting to make the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) accountable to Labour Party Conference.
If adopted, this rule change would require the PLP to report directly to the conference, including on MPs’ discipline, with the conference able to confirm or reject disciplinary decisions that are of concern to delegates.

"Jeremy Corbyn hugely motivated the under 30s to vote. In 2017 we achieved the largest swing to Labour since 1945. Sadly the present leadership seems to motivate very few. And the latest talk of building party unity is cheap. Unity requires the whip being restored to Jeremy Corbyn."- Freddie Demuth,
CLPD Activist, 11th May
"The Labour Party's strategists will need to learn from Corbynism's strengths, rather than ignoring them and insisting it had only weaknesses."- Andy Beckett
Guardian, 9th April
"The pledge to keep Labour's radical policies of 2017 and 2019 binned, replaced by policies made up on the hoof, without reference to Conference or the National Policy Forum....Reports suggest industrial-scale cheating has returned to local government selections"- Labour Briefing Co-op, March, 2021
"[Labour's] combination of top-down leadership and taking leftwing voters for granted is reminiscent of the party under Neil Kinnock."- Andy Beckett
