Discussion Meeting For Labour Party Members

We have a discussion meeting scheduled for this Sunday evening, 15th December  at 8pm in Dronfield Contact Club.

We will be having a round table discussion about the election result. Despite Labour hanging on to seats in Sheffield and Chesterfield, much of the surrounding areas of north Derbyshire and South Yorkshire have been won by Tory candidates in unprecedented results. The Tory majority is an awful result for Labour, for the progressive left and for the most vulnerable people in the UK.

We will discuss the results and how to move forward from here. We must continue to fight for a better, fairer, more equal society.

Apologies for the short notice, I hope some of you can make it.

Best Wishes,
Rosie Smith
Political Education Officer, Dronfield Labour Party

Labour's Key Policies

The Web-site of Independent Labour Publications is running a really important pro-Labour article in relation to the current General Election.

 

The writer Barry Winter covers Labour's proposals to tackle a range of massively important social problems. These include - (1) Poverty and Low Pay. (2) 200,000 children living in absolute poverty. (3) School and Youth Services being pushed past breaking points. (4) Wide areas where those over 65 are also seriously hit. (5) Many private tenants being trapped in squalid slum houses. (6) An NHS with serious staff shortages. (7) 25,000 annual deaths linked to the effects of pollution.

The article is a must for democratic socialists and also needs to be more widely absorbed. It can be found if you link here.
