CAN LABOUR SURVIVE?
Calder Branch Labour Party - now affiliated to the LRC - is organising an event on Thursday September 24 at the Hole In The Wall pub , Hebden Bridge, on the topic of the General Election and Labour's prospects.
Participants include former Halifax MP and tireless campaigner Alice Mahon (pictured with me on an NUJ picket line a couple of months ago) , Janet Oosthuysen, our original PPC for Calder Valley, and I will be chairing..........hope to see you there if you are in the vicinity.
