Accounts of the so-called ‘Labour right’ and its influential revisionist social democratic tradition have emphasised its generic cohesion and uniformity over contextual analysis of its inherent intellectual, ideological and political range and diversity.

  • Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship Celebrating 25 Years 1994-2019
    VISITING PARLIAMENTARY FELLOWSHIP CELEBRATING 25 YEARS 1994-2019 St Antony's College 1 Roger Goodman, Warden of St Antony’s At a recent breakfast with the students, it was decided that the College should do more to advertise what distinguished it from other colleges in Oxford. St Antony’s is: The Oxford college founded by a Frenchman The Oxford college with two Patron Saints (St Antony of Egypt and St Antony of Padua) The Oxford college where almost 90% of the 500 graduate students are from outside UK and the alumni come from 129 countries The Oxford college with international influence: ‘In the mid-2000s, 5% of the world’s foreign ministers had studied at St Antony’s’ (Nick Cohen, The Guardian, 8 Nov, 2015) The Oxford college mentioned in the novels of both John Le Carré and Robert Harris The Oxford college which holds the most weekly academic seminars and workshops The Oxford college with two award-winning new buildings in the past decade To this list can be added: St Antony’s is the Oxford college with a Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship (VPF). There is no other Oxford college that can boast such a list of parliamentarians responsible for a seminar programme over such a long period of time. The College is immensely proud of the Fellowship and greatly indebted to all those who have held it over the past 25 years. We were very grateful to those who have were able to come to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Fellowship programme at the House of Commons on 24 April 2019 and for the many generous letters from those who could not.

This includes choosing the agenda from amongst the policy and business motions submitted by conference reps, local, regional and state parties, specified associated organisations and Federal committees, and also taking decisions on topics such as venues, registration rates and other administrative and organisational matters. It works within a budget set by the FFAC. The FCC has 21 voting members: the Party President; the Chief Whip (or substitute); three state party reps; two reps from the FE and two from the FPC; and twelve members directly elected by conference reps. It elects its own chair (currently Duncan Brack), who must be one of the directly elected reps. Feedback from conference reps Federal Conference Committee always takes conference-goers’ feedback seriously, devoting our first post-conference meeting to a debrief session. Last autumn we trialled replacing the old paper questionnaire with an online version. This was very successful, with almost 500 respondents. We will use this greener online tool at all conferences from now on, so please take the time to give us your feedback. All registered members will be emailed a link to the questionnaire in the week following conference. A summary of the feedback from the Bournemouth conference is available on the party website ( www.libdems.org.uk/conference_report_2009.aspx ), together with some of the changes we will be making in response.
