LRC GETS SET FOR NEW YEAR CAMPAIGNING

Last night I headed off to Leeds to meet more people from West Yorkshire who are interested in joining the LRC. So we now have links in Huddersfield CLP ( home of Blairite Barry Sheerman) and several more constituencies in Leeds as well as Wakefield, Halifax and Calder Valley It was agreed we would meet again in January with a view to organising a campaigning event in February. We now have a broad spread of ages and views but it's clear the enthusiasm really is there on the ground. Which is good news for anyone who is sick and tired of the New Labour agenda.
Meanwhile, LRC Chair John McDonnell has tabled a timely EDM on tax avoidance.
