Statements of NEC Candidates Nominated by Labour International Members 2020 Statements of NEC Candidates Nominated by Labour International Members 2020 1. Party Treasurer Candidates Dave Bradney The party’s treasurer needs to combine vision with prudence. Vision so that the party can develop creatively; prudence so that disruptive “boom and bust” funding cycles are avoided. To those qualities I want to add openness, responsiveness and approachability. The party’s internal processes, including finance, are labyrinthine and alienating. That is inappropriate in a membership organisation. When I rejoined Labour in 2015, I became Ceredigion CLP’s treasurer, and over three years doing this I was scandalised to discover that CLPs are not permitted to participate at regional/national level unless they pay an annual “affiliation” fee. There is no provision for this in the party’s rules, and the Nominators mechanism that does exist for funding regional-level activities seems to be in disuse. Ian Hollingworth Daniel Speight I had great difficulty obtaining Welsh Labour’s annual accounts, and was never permitted to have a discussion with the Wales Treasurer. All this is inappropriate and unacceptable. I would not be doing things like this. I am 74, a retired journalist with some knowledge of financial issues and processes. I have a science degree, so I am numerate as well as literate. I am not a member of any internal party grouping, except for SERA.” [email protected] 01974272113 07896119297 Diana Holland It continues to be an honour to be elected Labour Party Treasurer. We have transformed the Party’s finances, and I thank and pay tribute to everyone – members, trade unions, CLPs, elected representatives, socialist societies. I remain determined to keep Party finances on a sound and transparent footing, as we deal with Conservative attacks on our Party’s funding, supporting the pivotal role of local Parties. I am also a strong supporter of Labour’s affiliated unions and socialist societies. Labour always achieves most when all parts of our Party come together – this is also true of Party finances. My top three priorities: • ensuring resources to campaign and win in 2021 elections and building to 2024 • protecting and strengthening our funding base Nominators • campaigning year-round, building Party membership, extending our reach. John Bennett Jerry Hogg My experience is as the longest-serving Labour NEC member; NEC and Party Chair 2002/3. As Assistant General Secretary of Unite, I have a proven track record against injustice and exploitation, for investment in jobs, communities and equality for all. Strong governance, financial management and organisation are essential. Now more than ever we must be the Party standing up for our communities, the alternative to poverty, division, fear and hatred. [email protected] www.facebook.com/diana.holland.5811 @DianaHolland_ 2. Disabled Members’ Representative Candidates George Lindars-Hammond I am a passionate disability and Labour Party activist. Having cerebral palsy is challenging but has given me a deep understanding of injustices and drives me to ensure that everyone has an equal platform. My first job was working to get disabled people employed in local businesses. I then became an activist and trustee for Disability Sheffield, helping it grow in difficult times. As Council Cabinet member for Social care in Sheffield, it is my mission to transform the services Disabled people need to thrive. It is scandalous how we have been cast aside by this Government – Labour must commit to advancing opportunities and equality for us. If elected, I would champion Disabled members, ensuring representation at all levels in Labour and government. Nominators John Bennett It is time for a Disabled member on every shortlist. It is time that we ensure members can participate Jerry Hogg in Labour however we choose, and it is time we are helped with additional costs of party activity. We have a brilliant opportunity to transform our Party for Disabled people with this position. I’m proud to have backing across our movement, from Open Labour to David Blunkett to Olivia Blake – I ask for your support today. [email protected] www.georgefornec.org.uk facebook.com/georgefornec Ellen Morrison I am standing as NEC representative of disabled members because I believe our Party can do so much more for disabled members, and that I have the commitment and experience to represent you on the NEC. I would bring the following experience: • Organising trainings, events and campaigns as Chair of Unite the Union’s London and Eastern young members and Secretary of my local Unite Community branch • Representing disabled members as Disability Officer in my CLP, Lewisham East • Organising campaigns, events, protests and conferences with Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) • Active in the campaign to #StopAndScrapUniversalCredit Nominators It would be my priority to listen to what disabled members want from their NEC rep. Campaigning Ian Hollingworth with Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) and representing disabled trade unionists in Unite Daniel Speight Community has given me the experience to advocate for our rights. Getting basic access measures right, like remote participation, is the minimum. It’s time Labour empowers disabled members to take the decisions that affect us. From having our own structures to self organise within the party, to shaping the policies that affect us. I’m proud to have the endorsement of DPAC and Disability Labour in standing for this role. [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/ellenfornec/ @ellenlmorrison Richard Rieser Having been a disabled person from 1949 I have learned that we need to embrace our identity as disabled people, regardless of the type of impairment – physical(mine), sensory, psycho-social or mental. Disablism is an oppression and it can only be tackled collectively, where we work, live, play and in our political party through ‘social model’ policies. I fought as a teacher and trade unionist (NUT/NEU) I fought for disability equality justice for disabled people in many cases and campaigns. I have been involved in these struggles as Chair of the Alliance for Inclusive Education(1990-2002), Nominators BCODP/UKDPC Rep. at the European Disability Forum (2004-2013), Representing UK Disability Philippa Dakin Movement in New York at negotiations on the UN Convention on Rights Persons with Disabilities, Nadia Woodhouse Coordinator of UK Disability History Month (2010 to date), as Director of Disability Equality in Education and World of Inclusion, advising the Labour Government on these issues. For the last 3 years I have been CLP Disability Officer and set up a Disabled Members Forum in Islington North and Disabled People for a Labour Victory. As a Party we need to relate to the key issues in the lives of the 13 million disabled people living in the UK [email protected] 07715420727 0207 359 2855 3. CLP Representative Candidates Luke Akehurst I voted for Keir Starmer in the leadership election and I want to work on the NEC to make his leadership a success; to reunite and rebuild a divided and demoralised Labour Party after four consecutive General Election defeats; and to get Labour into fighting shape for the next General Election. A Labour activist for 32 years, I am passionate about tackling poverty and inequality. As a parent and cancer survivor I will fight to defend our NHS and schools from Tory cuts. Support the closest possible links with Europe. Want zero tolerance of antisemitism, Islamophobia and racism. NEC Member 2010-2012, strong record of fairness and defending democracy in taking decisions, openness and accountability in reporting back to members. Extensive campaigning experience: Borough Campaign Manager in four Hackney elections increasing Labour seats from 29 to 50; parliamentary candidate Aldershot and Castle Point; full-time Organiser in Camden. Councillor 2002-2014, trade unionist (Unite) 27 years. Member of Co-op Party and Fabians. With three decades experience of campaigning, on the NEC my absolute focus will be turning Labour back into an election-winning party. I recommend also voting for Baxter, Paul, Payne, Nominators Singh Josan, Tatler, and Black, Griffin, Sherriff. John Bennett Jerry Hogg https://www.luke4nec.org/ [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/luke4nec2020/ Johanna Baxter We need to change to win and win we must. COVID-19 has changed how live. Our country faces a looming economic crises the like of which we’ve never seen in our lifetime. We need to offer solutions as well as solidarity – a credible, radical, alternative that creates jobs, tackles climate change, and invests in the health and education of our nation. Only by bringing together our broad church and harnessing the talents of our 580,000 members will we return a socialist Labour government. I’m a member of 24 years, a CLP Chair, SEC member and the lead Trade Union negotiator for local government workers in Scotland. I’ve campaigned for Labour at every election since I joined. Elect me and I will: • Publish NEC reports, and attend CLP meetings wherever I can. From 2010-2016 I personally visited over 180 CLPs to engage members. • Not be afraid of speaking truth to power. • Campaign for robust and speedy independent processes to deal with bullying, harassment and discrimination in all its forms. • Fight to break down barriers to participation in our party. • Work relentlessly for a Labour win. Nominators John Bennett I’m supporting Akehurst, Paul, Payne, Singh Josan, Tatler, Black, Griffin, Sherriff. Jerry Hogg [email protected] @JohannaBaxter https://www.facebook.com/Johanna4NEC/ Ekua Bayunu I have the skills, experience, passion and sustained commitment to socialist values built up over 40 years working with disadvantaged communities across the UK as a Community Arts activist. In London, the East Midlands, the Northwest and Edinburgh. I am Arts & Culture Officer for Manchester Central CLP, Secretary of Manchester Labour Women’s Forum, representing women from across the 5 Manchester CLPs and a CLP delegate to our LCF and was delegate to Conference in 2019.

  • June 2020 Leaders
    Our latest Welsh Political Barometer poll repeated our long-standing question in which we asked respondents to rate political leaders on a 0-10 scale (where 0 means ‘strongly dislike’ and 10 means ‘strongly like’, with a Don’t Know option also available.) This question was asked about the main Britain-wide leaders for the Conservatives and Labour, plus the Welsh leaders of both those parties and Plaid Cymru. With our April poll having begun sampling before the Labour leadership announcement, our new poll thus present the first verdict from Welsh voters on Sir Keir Starmer - and allows us to compare his ratings directly with those of Jeremy Corbyn. As I have often discussed in the past, a first interesting thing in such findings is the proportion of people who answer Don’t Know for each leader. Though some respondents will choose this option because they are genuinely undecided – and some will bluff on a leader about whom they know nothing – overall the percentage of people saying Don’t Know provides a good rough-and-ready measure of their public visibility. There are at least two particular reasons for being interested in that this time around. As this is the first poll asking about Keir Starmer, it is interesting to see the extent to which the public have been able yet to form a view about him. Second, it has been no- table since he became First Minister that large proportions of Barometer respondents have failed to offer a view on Mark Drakeford; with the Covid-19 crisis having pushed him rather more into the public eye, has this changed? The table below shows the percentage of Don't Know responses for each leader (with in brackets the change on our last poll, in April; for Starmer, the figure represents the change on the April fig- ure for Corbyn): Leader % Don’t Know Boris Johnson 5 (-2) Keir Starmer 25 (+16) Mark Drakeford 24 (-16) Paul Davies 67 (+3) Adam Price 55 (+1) These sorts of tables normally show a gulf between the two main UK party leaders and those at the devolved level.

    The adaptive state 24/11/03 5:38 PM Page 1 About Demos Demos is a greenhouse for new ideas which can improve the quality of our lives. As an independent think tank, we aim to create an open resource of knowledge and learning that operates beyond traditional party politics. We connect researchers, thinkers and practitioners to an international network of people changing politics. Our ideas regularly influence government policy, but we also work with companies, NGOs, colleges and professional bodies. Demos knowledge is organised around five themes, which combine to create new perspectives. The themes are democracy, learning, enterprise, quality of life and global change. But we also understand that thinking by itself is not enough. Demos has helped to initiate a number of practical projects which are delivering real social benefit through the redesign of public services. We bring together people from a wide range of backgrounds to cross-fertilise ideas and experience. By working with Demos, our partners develop a sharper insight into the way ideas shape society. For Demos, the process is as important as the final product. www.demos.co.uk The adaptive state 24/11/03 5:38 PM Page 2 First published in 2003 © Demos Some rights reserved.

Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £410 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname.

  • Annual Labour Party Conference 2017 Aylesbury Constituency Delegate Report
    Emily Smith ANNUAL LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE 2017 AYLESBURY CONSTITUENCY DELEGATE REPORT Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………….1 Women’s Conference…………………………………………………………….……..2 Sunday 24th……………………………………………………………………………………9 Monday 25th………………………………………………………………….………..……13 Tuesday 26th…………………………………………………………………………………16 Wednesday 27th……………………………………………………………………….…..26 Introduction The Annual Labour Party Conference of 2017 is sure to be one that goes down in history. In terms of attendees, this years’ conference was the largest yet with a record breaking 12,000+ supporters making their way down to Brighton to witness the excitement and democratic change happening in the party over a snapshot of a few days. The sheer size of the event along with the atmosphere and engagement of all visitors is a further assertion of the inspiring movement that is happening within our Party and a great reflection of our mounting membership which now stands at close to 600,000 – making our party the largest political party in Europe. Our booming membership and colossal conference stand as an unmissable reminder of the undying importance of the parties’ core – the grassroots from which we are built upon. This years’ conference also boasts an incredible engagement of delegates in our Policy Forum, Party Rules and Conference Arrangements that transcends those that preceded. 185 Contemporary Motions were submitted, 13 Constitutional Amendments proposed, 9 Composite Motions suggested, 24 Emergency Motions applied for, over 10 points of order raised, more than 20 calls for Reference Back and Tuesdays’ CAC report was almost declined. There was a visible and remarkable notion of delegates holding the NPF, CAC and NEC to account and a remarkable level of scrutiny, still accompanied by comradery and respect.

  • British Politics and Policy at LSE: Under New Leadership: Keir Starmer’S Party Conference Speech and the Embrace of Personality Politics Page 1 of 2
    British Politics and Policy at LSE: Under new leadership: Keir Starmer’s party conference speech and the embrace of personality politics Page 1 of 2 Under new leadership: Keir Starmer’s party conference speech and the embrace of personality politics Eunice Goes analyses Keir Starmer’s first conference speech as Labour leader. She argues that the keynote address clarified the distinctiveness of his leadership style, and presented Starmer as a serious Prime Minister-in-waiting. Keir Starmer used his virtual speech to the 2020 party conference to tell voters that Labour is now ‘under a new leadership’ that is ‘serious about winning’ the next election. He also made clear that he is ready to do what it takes to take Labour ‘out of the shadows’, even if that involves embracing personality politics and placing patriotism at the centre of the party’s message. Starmer has been Labour leader for only five months but he has already established a reputation as a credible and competent leader of the opposition. Opinion polls routinely put him ahead of the Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the credibility stakes, and the media has often praised his competence and famous forensic approach to opposition politics. This is a welcome new territory for Labour – Starmer’s predecessors, Jeremy Corbyn and Ed Miliband, struggled to endear themselves to the average voter – so it is no surprise that he is making the most of it. In fact, judging by some killer lines used in this speech, the Labour leader is enjoying his new role as the most popular politician in British politics.
