Now that's a leafleting team!

 

 The first leafleting team of the campaign season, Sunday February 17 2013.  And somebody's thumb.

County Council candidates

It was a special open GC meeting at Broughton on Tuesday night, devoted to the upcoming County elections.  Main speaker was Nick Brown, former County Councillor and current constituency campaigns organiser, who reminded us of the hard fact that we must be targeted and disciplined to win anything in South Leicestershire.  But it can be done and here, on the right in the picture (the only time the phrase 'on the right' can ever be applied to her) is Braunstone County Councillor Jo Fox.  Labour is standing in every seat in the constituency and these are our nine candidates.

It was a great meeting and what promises to be a successful campaign got off to a great start last Sunday with twenty-odd out on the streets of Enderby Meridian.

Debating the Future

Labour List recently published this ebook/pdf edited by Jon Cruddas, essential reading for those of us who want to help shape the policies that will help Labour win an even bigger majority at the 2015 election.  Today's announcement by Ed Miliband, committing to the return of the 10p tax rate for the forgotten majority, shows the influence of the thinkers who contributed to the book.  Get your free copy now from http://labourlist.org/.  Recommended!

AGM

Last night was our Annual General Meeting and the start of our campaign to win back at least one seat in our area in the forthcoming County Council election.  Yes, another chance to watch the LibDems suffer!

The Chair's annual report has been posted as a separate page - see the Pages panel on the right.  And here, to celebrate, is a picture of our Chair and our Treasurer.

Another new photo has sprouted elsewhere on this page.  All the others Elaine sent me have been uploaded to our soon-to-be-launched photo site.
