Tosh McDonald is the President of the train drivers union ASLEF (Associated Society of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen) having joined British Rail 35 years ago as a freight guard at Doncaster Carr locomotive shed.

He played a prominent role in the campaign to elect Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party. Numbers of us heard him make powerful speeches on Jeremy's behalf at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield ; either as part of the massive overflow crowd outside the building or with 900 others inside the theatre itself.

He also spoke powerfully at the recent Labour Party Conference in support of the overwhelmingly endorsed policy of bringing private rail franchises into public ownership as soon as they expire.

"Momentum" is a body arising out of Jeremy's successful leadership campaign. It is working to make Labour a more democratic party, which will produce its own policies and has the collective will to implement them when in government. Click here for their web-site.

See here for Tosh and Jeremy making forceful speeches at this year's Durham Big Meeting. If you have not been to our discussions meetings before, this will be a great introduction.
