I decided to ‘mirror’ the nomination statements for the Div III NEC elections in 2020. There is nothing overleaf.

Open Labour? What’s it doing?
Open Labour won one seat in Labour’s NEC CLPs division elections in 2020. They clearly have an attraction to many members and MPs but their record of actions makes me question how left they are. Here are my notes. Continue reading “Open Labour? What’s it doing?”

Fair Trial and Labour’s ‘fast track’
A note on Labour’s ‘fast track’ disciplinary process and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Labour’s disciplinary determination process for complaints that allege prejudice or harassment were changed at Conference 2019. The investigation is conducted by staff, who then present a charge and proposed sanction to a panel/sub committee of the NEC Disputes committee who then make a judgement and impose a penalty (or not). This decision is subject to appeal to the NCC on specific criteria, … Continue reading “Fair Trial and Labour’s ‘fast track’”
Labour’s Money
I feel the need to document my findings on Labour’s finances. I have written about it here and on my blog. In 2020, the LP did not publish their 2019 annual report to the members and so I had to get it from the Electoral Commission. At the time of first writing, this is an index for other things I have said and found. … Continue reading “Labour’s Money”
Labour, local government candidates and women
This is a note on Labour selections, specifically around positive action programmes for women. I live in a London borough which elects all its council every four years from multi-member wards using FPTP. Certain by-elections must be selected using all-women short (AWS) lists. Here are my notes … Continue reading “Labour, local government candidates and women”

LP Conference: Delegate & Member power
As a result of arguements about the representative nature of hand votes within the CLP college at LP Conference, I did some sums and a chart. Here are my notes. Continue reading “LP Conference: Delegate & Member power”
Labour 19 & Brexit
I wrote a piece on the LP Brexit debate at #lab19 and in the next few days a number of people commented on the debate, I thought I’d make a little wiki article, bookmarking them; some of these articles are mirrors made by me. As ever, for more, see overleaf/below … Continue reading “Labour 19 & Brexit”
Labour Conference 2019
And now we’re on the runway to #lab19. Let’s see if I can make it 4 in a row. Continue reading “Labour Conference 2019”
The Socialist International
One of the issues raised while considering Venezuela, is the suggestion that since Jose Guaido’s party, Voluntad Popular is a member of the Socialist International, Labour Party member’s should be supporting him and his party; interestingly the Labour Party is no longer a full member of the SI, having downgraded its membership in favour of the Progressive Alliance, which sort of means something else in the UK.
I’d like to find out why and still love the badge.
I was pointed at The Slow Death of the Socialist International which deals with the history of the SI and describes the split which occurred in 2012. In the words of Jack Black, long story short, the European social democrats became unhappy with a number of recent affiliates, questioning their commitment to democracy and social democracy or socialism and lost the General Secretary election in 2012. The author seems unimpressed with where both organisations have ended up. I can see why.
