Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Where can I vote and make a difference?


No, this isn't a mass meeting welcoming this blog by popular acclaim. This is a vote at last year's annual meeting of the Labour Representation Committee, the rank and file organisation for ordinary Labour Party and trade union members.

There aren't many places in our labour movement today where you could cast a vote that would make a real difference. The Labour Representation Committee on 22 July will be one such place (www.l-r-c.org.uk) We will debate whether their should be a socialist challenge for the Labour Party leadership (and how hard is it to answer that question?)
