Constituency Report (June 2017) General Election Constituency Report (June 2017) General Election After seven exhausting weeks, the General Election campaign is over, with the biggest increase in the Labour vote since 1945. I visited at least at least 30 different constituencies and met thousands of people, from Edinburgh to Southampton. I spoke at more than 60 hustings and debates, and did more than 100 media interviews, and drank goodness know how many cups of coffee to keep me going. The horrifying terror attacks in Manchester and Phone canvassing at Labour HQ, 2 Jun London and the catastrophic fire at Grenfell Tower have raised all manner of questions about safety, the state, austerity and civil society. It has prompted a slew of rehashed rhetoric from Theresa May. She claims “enough is enough”, and blames Internet companies and the Human Rights Act for allowing terrorism to continue, with no mention of the cuts of 20,000 police officers made under her watch. Despite attempts to disrupt the democratic process we continued to campaign right up until the polls closed. Thanks to the hard work of our activists tirelessly Women’s Canvass Islington South, 28 May campaigning up and down the country we managed to gain 30 seats, and my majority in Islington South and Finsbury was increased by over 7,600. While we were unable to form a government the Conservatives lost their majority, and with it their mandate for austerity and a damaging hard Brexit. On the way to Jeremy’s Brexit speech, 1 Jun The National Campaign Campaign visits 23 Apr: Hornsey & Wood Green 29 Apr: Sheffield, Dewesbury and Batley & Spen 1 May: Reading and Southampton 3 May: Brentford & Isleworth 4 May: Stevenage 6 May: Tottenham My campaign launch, 6 May 7 May: Hammersmith 8 May: Lancaster & Fleetwood 9 May: Manchester, Heywood & Middleton 13 May: Westminster North 15 May: Wirral West and Ellesmere Port 16 May: Bradford 20 May: Swansea, Gower and Hackney 26 May: Cambridge 27 May: Newcastle Under-Lyme, Edgbaston and Wolverhampton North East May Day Rally in Reading, 1 May 29 May: Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire 2 Jun: Canterbury 3 Jun: Middlesbrough and Bishop Auckland Visiting Yorkshire MPs Tracy Brabin and Paula Sherriff, 29 Apr Meeting a local Labour supporter in Bradford, 16 May Campaign Diary Week 1 Once the snap election was called it was clear that the Labour Party had to present itself as a party ready for government. One of my first actions was to head to Gibraltar and reassure the government that no transfer of sovereignty would be taking place under a Labour Government. Once back in the UK I spoke at the Fabian Society conference in Sheffield, and at a town hall meeting in Dewesbury. Week 2 In Gibraltar to discuss Brexit, 27 Apr Things kicked off with a May Day parade through Reading town centre. Later that day I visited Southampton Test to canvass for Alan Whitehead MP, and speak to the local Hazara community from Afghanistan. The next day I was back in the constituency campaigning in Clerkenwell, and spent the next two days sup- porting Labour candidates in Stevenage and Brentford & Isleworth. On the 6th of May I attended David Lammy’s campaign launch, and held my own later that day. Week 3 Canvassing in Southampton Test, 1 May I started this week up North, campaigning in Lancaster & Fleetwood. I stayed in Manchester for the national Labour campaign launch the next day, and then canvassed in Heywood & Middleton later on. I spent the rest of the week canvassing in the constituency, and in Westminster North for Karen Buck. This week I also worked on the Foreign Affairs section of the Labour Manifesto, and attended the Clause V meeting in which the Labour Party decided on the manifesto to fight the election on. Campaigning for Karen Buck with MPs Chuka Umunna and David Lammy, 13 May Week 4 I went back up to Yorkshire for the Manifesto Launch in Bradford. While there I campaigned in Wirral West and Ellesmere Port and Neston. After coming back and spending a couple days in Isling- ton I was off to South Wales, visiting the candi- dates for Swansea East, Swansea West and Gow- er. The next day I participated in a local hustings at St Mary’s Church. Working hard in Wirral West, 15 May Campaign Diary Week 5 At the beginning of this week, on Monday 22nd of May, there was a horrific terror attack in Manchester Arena. National campaigning was suspended during the week as a mark of respect. At the weekend, I went to Cambridge to canvass for Daniel Zeichner, and then across the Midlands in Newcastle Under-Lyme, Wolverhampton North East and Edgbaston. Week 6 Heading into the end of the campaign, I took part in a national foreign policy debate at the In Gower with our new MP, 20 May Royal United Services Institute. I then went to Derbyshire, to campaign in the constituencies North East Derbyshire and Chesterfield. I went to Canterbury to speak at a rally and support our Candidate Rosie Duffield, who became the first ever Labour MP for the constituency. The next day I went back up north to support our candidates in Bishop Auckland and Middlesbrough South East. Week 7 In the final week of the election campaign London was once again hit by a horrific terror attack. I spent this week in London doing interviews and canvassing around Islington. On Giving a speech in Canterbury High street, 2 the night before the election I spoke at a rally Jun with Jeremy Corbyn to rouse members and supporters, and thank them for their hard work throughout the campaign. I spent election day knocking doors up and down Islington South, making sure as many people as possible got out to vote Labour. Canvassing in Middlesbrough South and Cleveland, 3 Jun Election day campaigning in Holloway, 8 Jun Constituency campaigning and media appearances Media appearances have included… While I spent much of the campaign supporting 30 Apr: Westminster Hour Labour candidates across the country, I made 4 May: LBC Iain Dale sure to campaign across Islington South too.

  • Increasing Levels of Rebellion Amongst The
    Where’s it all coming from? Backbench rebels in the 2001 Parliament PHILIP COWLEY and MARK STUART* Where do you think most of this poison is coming from? From the dispossessed and the never possessed. You can think of ex-ministers who are going around causing all sorts of trouble. We don’t want another three more of the bastards out there (John Major, April 1993) The rise in backbench discontent is already causing serious problems for the Government – but the real fear amongst the Labour hierarchy is the situation after the next election. The Government is struggling to enact key pieces of legislation whilst enjoying a majority of 161. How will it manage with a majority of, say, 61? To make matters worse, the most rebellious MPs sit for safer seats than the rest of the PLP, meaning that as the Government’s shrinks, the rebels become a larger proportion within the parliamentary party. Echoing Norman Lamont’s verdict on the Major years, one Labour insider has already described the possibility as ‘office without power’.1 Such a view presupposes several unknowns about any future Labour Government – including whether a smaller majority would generate greater self-discipline from Labour backbenchers – but the mere possibility of backbench rebels being able to hold a third term Blair government to ransom is causing concern amongst the Labour leadership. Hence the recent (albeit extremely vague) rumours of deselections and expulsions, targeted against a handful of the most rebellious backbenchers, both to remove them from the equation and, more generally, pour encourager les autres.

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline
