I was reminded today that I haven't posted fully on the successful launch last month of the London branch of the Labour Housing Group (LHG).
Steve at the LHG "Red Brick" blog has of course posted an excellent report. Check out the comments at this post which gives an accurate flavour of this event.
It was (IMO of course) a pretty damn good Labour Movement Family event that drew together the best elements of our movement. Labour Party elected representatives, trade unions and grass roots Party campaigners and members working together and sharing ideas.
It was held at the Grand Committee Room in Westminster Hall and was packed to overflowing. Standing room only. It was more like a rally than a meeting.
It was Chaired by Nicky Gavron AM, guest speakers were Ken Livingstone, Karen Buck MP and London UNISON Regional Secretary, Linda Perks. Labour Shadow Housing Minister, Alison Seabeck MP came in and opened the meeting.
I think that many people present were fairly shocked at how mean, destructive and sheer bloody minded nasty the Condems polices are on Housing.
Afterward there was a reception sponsored by UNISON London Labour Link in St. Stephen's Tavern which also went down well. You can see in the collage above Party members of UNISON Housing Association branch with London Assemby member, Murad Qureshi (who use to be a member of our branch). Double click collage to bring up detail.
I think we will all be looking forward to a future LLHG Policy and Campaigning day soon.
