Newham Young Labour Go Shopping: (for the elderly & vulnerable)

Winter woolly hats off to Newham Young Labour for offering a shopping service on Tuesdays and Saturdays for local residents who find it difficult to go food shopping during this bad weather.

Great idea, Great example, Great stuff, well done!  

Newham Labour Party, Party

This exciting picture features the pink flying saucer seen hovering above all the crème de la crème of Newham Labour Party at last night’s fund raising B-B-Q.

This was organised jointly by Newham Young Labour and Newham Fabians and held in a member's Forest Gate garden.

It was a great success and the entrance fee and raffle raised money for Forest Gate North branch and Newham Young Labour.

In the picture is Newham mayor Sir Robin Wales and East Ham MP Stephen Timms. While local London Assembly member John Biggs was also somewhere. West Ham MP Lyn Brown arrived later as did others who came to break the fast.

It was a good night – many thanks to the organisers.

An Evening with Ken Livingstone – Newham Young Labour.

Newham Young Labour have arranged this event at East Ham Town Hall (on by coincidence Bastille Day!).

We have an active, organised and well supported Young Labour section in Newham (East and West Ham).

These activists have been at the very heart of campaigning in recent elections. This is probably one of the reasons that we have been doing so well relatively in Newham.

I'm going to miss the London Progressive conference this Saturday. So this can be a chance to catch up on Ken's latest views on Boris and the wider political scene.

All Labour Party supporters welcome.

Newham Young Labour

This is a plug for its first meeting this Tuesday 16 December 7.30pm in the Golden Grove Pub in Stratford, E15. All Labour members who live in Newham are invited. “Young at heart” members are also welcome (but don’t worry I won’t be there to spoil the fun).

You can also join their Newham Young Labour “facebook” group. Ellie who is the West Ham CLP Youth and Student officer (and hopefully a future Newham Councillor) is helping to organise the event with her East Ham counterpart David.

The Picture is of young (and not so young) Newham Labour Party members “on the knocker” during the London GLA elections in May. Young activists worked their socks off for the Party and helped significantly increase the Labour vote – see details here

Old and New - The pub is only a few hundred yards away from the Old Stratford Town Hall, from whose balcony overlooking the main road, Keir Hardie, was proclaimed as the first ever Labour Party MP in 1892.
