London Labour Campaign Training & Canvass

After my Councillor surgery I went to a London Labour campaigning training in Stratford. The Party has a new "script" and revamped "Labour Doorstep" app. The changes make sense and to test its effectiveness, some of us were able to go out to nearby Forest Gate South ward to knock on doors and speak to residents. 

I freely admit to messing up at first and using my normal lines but eventually "got" this new approach and I think obtained some much better data. It is far more time consuming but wait and see since no doubt we will find short cuts. 

Afterwards I went to this excellent local history presentation which I will post about soon. https://www.johnslabourblog.org/2023/01/saving-peoples-forest.html
