Keep readingBurnham and the EU
“Only a return to full membership to the EU will deliver the benefits we need.” The CLP and socialist society motions & reference backs to Labour Conference on relations with the EU were suppressed, probably to keep the powder dry for Burnham’s speech. In the speech, Burnham said, We will not give Britain the clear…

Keep readingTemplate motion on “Fair Funding”
You may find this text useful to adapt for your CLP. We note that the Fair Funding plans will mean huge cuts in central government funding for many many inner and west London councils from 2026-7. These come on top of cuts in central government funding which those councils have suffered since 2010, and at…
