And they are all New labour……
Dear Rob the crip,
Our Top Of The Policies events are deliberately inclusive of a range of opinion in the Labour Party. We have, since our inception, been avowedly non-factional, instead seeking to give a platform for ordinary members to present their ideas (sometimes to Shadow Ministers) and creating a format which ensures that the quality of the idea, rather than the status of the speaker, is what counts.
The TOTP event on defence heard a range of views. Jeremy Corbyn, who incidentally came second in the voting with his ‘Scrap Trident’ policy, is certainly not New Labour.
Best wishes,
John Slinger
Chair, Pragmatic Radicalism
