A packed event saw apprentices from a range of backgrounds and from a range of unions mixing with guests and ministers. The enjoyable and inspiring evening showed off the benefits of apprenticeships and brought together some exceptional young people. Three of the apprentices (Adam Matthews from the PFA and Cardiff City FC; Leanne Talent from UNISON and Merseytravel; Richard Sagar from Unite and Eden Electrics) addressed the audience and impressed everyone there. A big thank to them for their professionalism and eloquence when speaking on the day. 10 14 A thank you too to ministers Kevin Brennan, Pat McFadden and Iain Wright for joining us, as well as Children’s Secretary Ed Balls and 16 Business Secretary Lord Mandelson. A strong commitment to support and expand apprentices was given by Gordon Brown, which was warmly welcomed by all those there.

    National Policy Guide 2019 Incorporating the decisions of Congress 2018 KEY symbol signifies where a CEC Statement or CEC Special Report has been agreed by Congress. Please refer to those documents for more detail. (2016: C1) where references are given, the first part represents the Congress year and the latter the motion or composite (so this refers to Composite 1 from GMB Congress 2016) All Congress documents from 2005 onwards can be found on the GMB website at www.gmb.org.uk/congress Background GMB Annual Congress is the supreme policy making authority of GMB. It deals with motions and rule amendments from GMB Branches, Regional Committees and the Central Executive Council (CEC). In addition, other issues such as CEC special reports, CEC Statements and Financial Reports are debated and voted on. Once these have been endorsed, they become GMB Policy for the union as a whole. Following the endorsement of the CEC Special Report ‘Framework for the Future of the GMB: Moving Forward’ at Congress 2007, it was agreed that Congress will not debate motions which are determined to be existing union policy. At its meetings prior to Congress, the CEC identifies those Congress motions which are in line with existing GMB policy. These recommendations are reported to Congress in SOC Report No 1 at the start of Congress. Delegates will be asked to endorse these motions and if agreed, the motions will not be debated. However following Congress progress on these motions will continue to be reported. The following guide is an indication of GMB policy but is not a definitive list.

  • The Labour Party Is More Than the Shadow Cabinet, and Corbyn Must Learn to Engage with It
    The Labour Party is more than the shadow cabinet, and Corbyn must learn to engage with it blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-labour-party-is-more-than-the-shadow-cabinet/ 1/11/2016 The three-day reshuffle of the shadow cabinet might have helped Jeremy Corbyn stamp his mark on the party but he needs to do more to ensure his leadership lasts, writes Eunice Goes. She explains the Labour leader must engage with all groups that have historically made up the party, while his rhetoric should focus more on policies that resonate with the public. Doing so will require a stronger vision of what he means by ‘new politics’ and, crucially, a better communications strategy. By Westminster standards Labour’s shadow cabinet reshuffle was ‘shambolic’ and had the key ingredients of a ‘pantomime’. At least, it was in those terms that it was described by a large number of Labour politicians and Westminster watchers. It certainly wasn’t slick, or edifying. Taking the best of a week to complete a modest shadow cabinet reshuffle was revealing of the limited authority the leader Jeremy Corbyn has over the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). Against the wishes of the Labour leader, the Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn and the Shadow Chief Whip Rosie Winterton kept their posts. However, Corbyn was able to assert his authority in other ways. He moved the pro-Trident Maria Eagle from Defence and appointed the anti-Trident Emily Thornberry to the post. He also imposed some ground rules on Hillary Benn and got rid of Michael Dugher and Pat McFadden on the grounds of disloyalty.

Watch the meeting Members present: Mr Andrew Tyrie (Chair); Hilary Benn; Mr Clive Betts; Crispin Blunt; Andrew Bridgen; Sir William Cash; Yvette Cooper; Meg Hillier; Mr Bernard Jenkin; Dr Julian Lewis; Stephen Metcalfe; Mr Laurence Robertson; Dame Rosie Winterton; Pete Wishart; Dr Sarah Wollaston; Mr Iain Wright. Questions 1-129 Witness [I]: Rt Hon Mrs Theresa May Examination of witness Witness: Rt Hon Mrs Theresa May Q1 Chair: Prime Minister, thank you very much for coming to give evidence to us this afternoon. We are very grateful, and I think Parliament is also very grateful, that you are agreeing to do these sessions. Could I just have confirmation that you are going to continue the practice of your predecessor of three a year? Mrs May: Yes, indeed, Chairman. I am happy to do three attendances at this Committee a year. Q2 Chair: Logically, bearing in mind the very big events likely to take place at the end of March, it might be sensible to push scrutiny of the triggering, or proposed triggering, of article 50, and any accompanying Government documents, to after the spring recess. Then we will have two meetings: one right at the beginning and one towards the end of the summer session. Mrs May: That may very well be sensible, Chairman. I suggest that perhaps the Clerk and my office will be able to talk about possible dates. Obviously the Committee will have a view as to when they wish to do it.
