Now that was an excellent result. Not a bad night for Labour in England and Wales. Not brilliant overall but quite a bit to celebrate and a lot to think about.
jams o donnell - and an immediate item for the Labour Movement to think about is this - http://www.campaignengineroom.org.uk/refounding-labour/news/refounding-labour-launched
Thanks for the link. I am not sure how I missed it before!
jams o donnell : I have just spent a weekend at Scarborough with Independent Labour Publications where the "Refounding Labour" consultative document was one of our main discussion issues. The ILP have a web-site.
I will now raise the issue at my Labour Party Branch Meeting on Wednesday and we still have time to follow this up at the June meeting. It is then the topic for discussion at the next meeting of our Labour Party Discussion Group (which isn't restricted to Party members) on Sunday Evening. What we come up with is likely to emerge in time on the blog "Dronfield Blather" and here.
