Template motion from “Protect the Harvest”
Friends of Standing Together has sent us this template motion. If you want to adapt it for your CLP as the CLP’s motion to Labour Party conference, you will have to cut at least 22 words from it, since it has 272 words and the maximum wordcount, by rule, is 250 words. You may also find it useful to add in some “contemporary” reference (i.e. to news from the West Bank since early or mid August, e.g. the Israeli government’s 20 August invitation of tenders for the construction of a large settlement bloc in “E1”, cutting off East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank), because the (slippery) rule is that motions must be “contemporary”.

Draft “references back” which CLPs may adapt or submit for Labour conference 2026
Each CLP can submit for conference (deadline 17/9/26) up to four references back of passages from the National Policy Forum report. This gives much wider openings than the previous regime, under which the NPF report could only be approved as a whole or rejected as a whole (and the unions would always vote through approval). Those openings are limited: you get only a one-minute speech, and the Policy Commission may just ignore a reference-back. Still, it is an underused facility. A CLP cannot propose two references back in the same Policy Commission section, so e.g. if your CLP adopts one of the references back below on housing, it cannot adopt any of the others.

Draft “contemporary-ised” housing motion for Labour conference 2026
The text below is based on the Labour Campaign for Council Housing template motion, but with added reference to more “contemporary” developments to improve chances of not being ruled out of order as failing to be a “contemporary motion”. The text is 229 words, which gives you 21 words leeway within the 250-word limit on motions. If people in your CLP want to add further clauses, bear in mind that motions can be, and often have been, ruled out of order also for being on “more than one topic”. The deadline for motions to reach Labour HQ is 17/9/26.
