Alongside a highly readable lament by Polly Toynbee in today's Guardian about how the Labour Party's National Policy Forum has effectively stifled debate at this year's Conference in September, official guidelines have been written which will be seen by many as further dampening the possibility of real political discourse.




A contrite speech to the NPF, please Gordon

After Glasgow East there can be no more hunker down, stunt or top down politics from Gordon Brown. The Labour Party Leader's speech to its National Policy Forum should be scrutinised for clear evidence he has learned the messages set out by Save the Labour Party and the LabOUR Commission.




Warwick 2 policy making - heist or review?

Save the Labour Party's latest Newsletter leads on the next round of policy making aka Partnership in Power, leading up to Warwick 2 in July, annual conference and an OMOV ballot.

Will the Leadership attempt to steal from members the opportunity to have a say? Or will every effort be made to ensure all members know what's happening?




All-member ballot for NPF?

At 10 am next Saturday morning, I hope to be in Birmingham to hear Gordon Brown set out further his vision for Labour in government at the Party's Spring Conference. My hope, although I'm not holding my breath, is that he will take the opportunity to praise active members - the people on whose support many elected representatives depend.
