Nominate centre left grassroots candidates for the National Executive Committee 2012 Ann Black
Ken Livingstone
Kate Osamor
Christine Shawcroft
Darren Williams
Peter Willsman A leaflet promoting these candidates can be downloaded from here This year we again have the opportunity to elect representatives to the Constituency Section of the National Executive Committee. CLPs are recommended to nominate six candidates from the centre and left of the Labour Party - who will stand up for the rights of grassroots Party members. These six candidates have been put forward by Party pressure groups associated with the Centre Left Grassroots Alliance (CLGA). CLPD believes the six being recommended would make the most effective team and represent a spread of the Party’s regions. To secure a place in the ballot, candidates need nominations from their own CLP and at least two form constituencies in other Labour Party regions. Each CLP can make up to six nominations - the closing date is 30th March 2012 |

The meeting after conference is always a marathon, reviewing the state of the party and planning the year ahead. First up was Tom Watson, deputy party Chair and campaign co-ordinator, praised for his tactics in the famous Hodge Hill by-election. Tom saw his role as mobilising members, consulting on policy and raising funds. At my suggestion he included a working return address in his latest e-mail, and had already replied to 500 messages. I said again that members want doorstep ammunition, visible leadership and rapid rebuttal of Tory lies. Others added hope in tough times: pensioners are losing part of their winter fuel allowance, the council tax freeze will cost more jobs, youth unemployment is at record levels and Labour cannot be neutral as public service workers defend their modest pensions. The critical battle-grounds next year will be London, with the mayoral and assembly elections, and Scotland, where good council results would help to derail the independence bandwagon. Two weeks earlier the NEC’s organisation committee agreed to devolve many powers to the Scottish party, and authorised local organisation around Scottish rather than Westminster constituencies. This is the clear will of Scottish members, and I have asked only that the NEC is kept informed of developments. |

National Executive Committee Update, December 2011 |

Several subcommittees and working groups have met since the NEC awayday in November, and some notes are below. Refounding Labour to Win Peter Hain chaired the first meeting of the implementation group, and emphasised the importance of moving fast on registered supporters. Unless we reached 50,000 by conference 2012, the project would be seen as a fuss about nothing. Over 500 had already signed up through the national website, and tick-boxes will be included on leaflets for the NHS and other campaigns, with more names collected through petitions and street stalls. Peter would reassure MPs who keep lists of local helpers but do not want them swamped with national mailings and requests for money. Supporters must be on the electoral register, and their entitlement to vote for the party leader will be formally checked just before an election. We also need to recruit and retain paying members, and the winter challenge sent to all constituencies, with prizes including a visit from Ed Miliband and an iPad 2, reinforces this message. |

NEC Meeting, Tuesday 20 September 2011 The NEC opened by expressing sympathy for the families of the miners who died in Neath, and Peter Hain reported that contributions to the appeal fund had reached £60,000 within hours. This was the last regular meeting before conference, and Ed Miliband stressed that the focus must be outward, standing up for hardworking people under attack by the government. Big changes were needed in how the economy runs and in easing the pain of the deficit. The Tories showed during the 2007/08 crisis and since that they would never take on the banks or other vested interests |
