labourlist--2020-01-15--Nandy sets out strong defence of free movement in key speech

Labour leadership candidate Lisa Nandy has issued a strong defence of free movement in a key speech at the Royal Society for the Arts , Manufactures and Commerce this afternoon .
Jeremy Corbyn ’ s party included a commitment to end freedom of movement in its 2017 manifesto , and said it would be “ subject to negotiations ” post-Brexit in 2019 .
The policy to back free movement in a Remain scenario and leave it up to negotiations in a post-Brexit one was adopted despite Labour conference having voted in favour of extending free movement .
“ We should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement , and the opportunities and benefits it brings , ” the leadership hopeful told an audience at an event hosted by the RSA .
“ But this would have required recognising it has flaws , and not dismissing concerns as simply racist anti-immigrant sentiment .
We should acknowledge that over decades governments have used the steady influx of skilled labour to cover up a lack of investment in skills and training in the UK and address this.
” Mounting a full-throated defence of freedom of movement , Nandy added : “ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were paired with renewed and radical investment that enabled opportunities for young people , decent jobs , training and skills , then the same concerns would have fallen away.
” “ I have fought for the rights of migrant workers in the UK all my life and , unlike Boris Johnson , I know that the so-called Red Wall communities do too.
” Setting out her criticisms of the Brexit debate and the polarisation caused by the EU referendum , Nandy asked why Labour was both “ a force for radical change ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the status quo ” .
The leadership candidate asserted : “ Three and a half years later , we ’ re still on the back foot .
We ’ ve allowed the right to frame the debate into a series of false binaries , and in so doing enabled a fully-fledged culture war to be unleashed .
“ The trap was set .
You can either be for your country or for the world .
And senior Labour politicians rushed headlong into it .
It was a serious failure of leadership .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than that .
My remain voting friends are not liberal elites and my leave voting neighbours are not racist little Englanders .
If we fail to recognise that there are valid views on both sides , we let everyone down .
“ Winning the argument for a confident , open , internationalist country will take leadership .
Thinking big .
Not playing it safe .
Understanding that the referendum result was a call for more power and control – and that the response should not have been reduced solely to a technocratic debate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wrongs of a customs union.
” With reference to the Salisbury attack in which Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned , Nandy argued that the Labour leadership “ failed on Russia ” and said : “ It was totally wrong that our response to this was to cast doubt on what happened and call only for dialogue.
” She said : “ At a crucial moment , we hesitated in condemning an authoritarian regime that supports Trump , invades its neighbours , steals its country ’ s wealth , interferes in elections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communities and then used chemical weapons on the streets of the UK .
“ We stood with the Russian government , and not with the people it oppresses , who suffer poverty and discrimination .
We failed the test of solidarity .
And as a result , we let the Tories get away with their own shocking weakness on Putin ’ s Russia .

Labour leadership candidate Lisa Nandy has issued a strong defence of free movement in a key speech at the Royal Society for the Arts, Manufactures and Commerce this afternoon.
Jeremy Corbyn’s party included a commitment to end freedom of movement in its 2017 manifesto, and said it would be “subject to negotiations” post-Brexit in 2019.
The policy to back free movement in a Remain scenario and leave it up to negotiations in a post-Brexit one was adopted despite Labour conference having voted in favour of extending free movement.
“We should have been bold enough to defend free movement, and the opportunities and benefits it brings,” the leadership hopeful told an audience at an event hosted by the RSA.
“But this would have required recognising it has flaws, and not dismissing concerns as simply racist anti-immigrant sentiment. We should acknowledge that over decades governments have used the steady influx of skilled labour to cover up a lack of investment in skills and training in the UK and address this.”
Mounting a full-throated defence of freedom of movement, Nandy added: “I believe in free movement. If it were paired with renewed and radical investment that enabled opportunities for young people, decent jobs, training and skills, then the same concerns would have fallen away.”
“I have fought for the rights of migrant workers in the UK all my life and, unlike Boris Johnson, I know that the so-called Red Wall communities do too.”
Setting out her criticisms of the Brexit debate and the polarisation caused by the EU referendum, Nandy asked why Labour was both “a force for radical change” and “on the back foot defending the status quo”.
The leadership candidate asserted: “Three and a half years later, we’re still on the back foot. We’ve allowed the right to frame the debate into a series of false binaries, and in so doing enabled a fully-fledged culture war to be unleashed.
“The trap was set. You can either be for your country or for the world. And senior Labour politicians rushed headlong into it. It was a serious failure of leadership.
“I know the truth is more complicated than that. My remain voting friends are not liberal elites and my leave voting neighbours are not racist little Englanders. If we fail to recognise that there are valid views on both sides, we let everyone down.
“Winning the argument for a confident, open, internationalist country will take leadership. Thinking big. Not playing it safe. Understanding that the referendum result was a call for more power and control – and that the response should not have been reduced solely to a technocratic debate about single market membership and the rights and wrongs of a customs union.”
With reference to the Salisbury attack in which Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned, Nandy argued that the Labour leadership “failed on Russia” and said: “It was totally wrong that our response to this was to cast doubt on what happened and call only for dialogue.”
She said: “At a crucial moment, we hesitated in condemning an authoritarian regime that supports Trump, invades its neighbours, steals its country’s wealth, interferes in elections in Europe and America, attacks minority communities and then used chemical weapons on the streets of the UK.
“We stood with the Russian government, and not with the people it oppresses, who suffer poverty and discrimination. We failed the test of solidarity. And as a result, we let the Tories get away with their own shocking weakness on Putin’s Russia.”

In a pointed criticism of John McDonnell, Murray said “never again should a senior member of the Labour Party be coming to an Edinburgh Fringe show and changing our constitutional position on Scotland”.

Bosworth ( none in 2015 or 2016 )

To get through the second stage of Labour’s leadership election, the four candidates still in the running – Rebecca Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy, Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry (as Jess Phillips has withdrawn) – can either pass through the local party route or via affiliates.
For the local party path, each contender needs nominations from 5% of Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs) – a total of 33. This is more difficult than it might first appear: Owen Smith gained just 53 nominations in 2016, and that was a two-horse race.
Unlike in previous Labour leadership elections, CLP nominations now really matter. Emily Thornberry in particular will need at least 33, while the others can likely rely on trade union backing – though they will want to meet the requirements set out for both routes to the ballot paper.
According to party guidelines and the rulebook, the nomination meeting must be an all-member one – not a general committee (GC) meeting – and local members should receive seven days’ written notice unless determined otherwise by a regional director.
Although members could join the party with full voting rights until Monday, January 20th, only those who have “passed their eight week provisional period of membership” at the date of the CLP meeting has the right to attend and vote.

labourlist--2020-01-15--Exclusive: Poll of members shows leadership race too close to call

Labour ’ s leadership race appears to be narrowing with Rebecca Long-Bailey coming out just ahead of her opponents on the basis of first preferences in a new poll of party members – with Keir Starmer close behind .
Long-Bailey , who is on the Labour left and widely seen as a Corbynite , has had a slow start to her campaign – but was still the most popular first-ranked contender in a survey of LabourList readers conducted by Survation and weighted to reflect the membership .
If the election took place today , the results of the poll suggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first preferences while Starmer would receive 37 % .
Jess Phillips is far behind on 9 % , Lisa Nandy on 7 % and Emily Thornberry on just 1 % .
Although Starmer receives the majority of second preferences from all candidates in the race , they are not enough to eliminate Long-Bailey ’ s first round lead , with Long-Bailey leading 51 % to 49 % after second preferences are taken into account .
The Holborn and St Pancras MP , who has pitched to the left in his campaign so far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second preferences from rivals Phillips ( 60 % ) and Nandy ( 63 % ) in the poll .
The first poll of Labour members by YouGov for the Party Members Project put Starmer ahead both in terms of first preferences and the overall result .
The new research suggests there is all to play for in Labour ’ s leadership contest .
34 % of Labour members surveyed by LabourList/Survation said they had not decided who they would be voting for in the leadership election , and of those ranking candidates for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were certain that they would not change their preferences .
50 % of those participating ranked Phillips – the most openly Corbynsceptic of the leadership candidates – as their sixth preference choice , suggesting that she could be the most divisive contender .
The LabourList/Survation poll includes Clive Lewis as a candidate , but the Norwich MP is now out of the running as he failed to secure the necessary MP and MEP nominations to continue .
Lisa Nandy comes behind Jess Phillips in fourth place on first preferences among those surveyed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the most popular second choice and joint with Emily Thornberry for most popular third choice .
The research also indicates that party members are not familiar with the Wigan MP and her policy platform .
24 % said they were unfamiliar with Nandy and what she stands for , compared to 5 % for Starmer and 8 % for Long-Bailey .
This could show that the ‘ soft left ’ candidate has much room for improvement as she becomes better known .
She came out in favour of free movement today in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lowest percentage of respondents – 37 % – saying they were familiar to her and her policy platform , according to the fresh poll .
This compares to 77 % for Starmer and 73 % for Long-Bailey .
In Labour ’ s deputy leadership race , the poll shows Angela Rayner far ahead of her opponents as she wins the contest on the basis of first preferences alone with a huge 60 % of top rankings .
Richard Burgon , often considered the most left-wing of the deputy leadership candidates , comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the simulation .
But , along with vocal Corbynsceptic Ian Murray , he is also one of the most divisive contenders .
Murray , Labour ’ s only Scottish MP , was ranked sixth by 39 % of respondents , while Burgon was put in last place by 31 % .
The Edinburgh South representative and Tooting MP Rosena Allin-Khan were found to be the least well-known candidates for deputy , with 63 % and 60 % of respondents respectively selecting the low familiarity option .
Survation surveyed 3,835 Labour members between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s database .
Data were weighted to the profile of party members by age , sex , and UK region , with targets derived from Labour membership composition data , 2016 .

labourlist--2020-01-17--Jess Phillips interview: Factions, feminism and a fighting chance

“ It is amazing to be considered a right-winger .
It makes me laugh , if I were to be perfectly honest , ” Jess Phillips replies when I suggest that many Labour members would describe her as a Blairite .
Although she left the party under Tony Blair ’ s leadership , over the Iraq war , you only have to look at the list of MP nominations from last week to see that she attracts support from colleagues closely associated with the Blair era .
Why is that ?
“ You ’ d have to ask them that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re in the Ministry of Sound , and in the next room local MP Neil Coyle is holding a members ’ event .
Jess is a guest speaker and will take to the stage once our interview ends .
She will talk about Labour ’ s aim of winning power above all else – often the primary way that those considered to be ‘ on the right ’ of the party would say they are different from the rest .
In terms of actual policy , Jess says she can not think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” .
At least in terms of domestic politics , she clarifies .
On her rival Rebecca Long-Bailey , Jess says : “ I do see her as continuity Corbyn ” .
But that is not a judgment of her politics so much as “ the manner in which the party has felt exclusive and a bit controlling ” .
Though she later says : “ I have no reason to believe that Rebecca would be continuity in that regard .
I don ’ t know , we ’ ll have to wait @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
” Back to her factional designation .
Jess stresses : “ I didn ’ t self-identify into this label , this is a label that is given to me .
And I think a lot of time in bad faith.
” During our interview , she mentions “ cancel culture ” and people being “ cancelled ” a couple of times .
There is a distinct worry that people aren ’ t allowed to disagree with each other in the party .
She reckons this approach “ largely comes from the internet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , no one on a doorstep ever asked me if I was a socialist .
No one on the doorstep ever said , ‘ oh , I ’ ve seen you chatting with Margaret Hodge ’ .
” Jess Phillips isn ’ t just described as a right-winger or a Blairite .
She is also accused of being a “ TERF ” , which stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist .
It usually means you don ’ t think trans women are women , or you want to make a distinction when it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jess feel about that label ?
“ I don ’ t like it , ” she replies firmly .
“ I reject it entirely .
I mean , today I was with Juno Dawson , who ’ s a woman I ’ ve worked with.
” The writer and activist was interviewing her for Pink News .
“ She got in touch with me , and she said : ‘ I don ’ t know why everybody is saying this about you .
You ’ re the person who ’ s been in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the person who has tried to help us.
’ ” The debate over the leadership candidate ’ s views on this issue stem largely from a tweet in which she described the demands of Woman ’ s Place UK as “ completely reasonable ” .
Does she stand by that view ?
“ At the time , the demands , they ’ re not unreasonable – it ’ s things like women should be able to organise .
Collectively , women ’ s voices should be heard .
These are not unreasonable things.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in hindsight ” look different .
“ I was saying to Juno today , no trans person has ever asked me not to refer to myself as a woman , or no trans person I ’ ve ever worked with has said , ‘ I don ’ t want you to talk about your periods ’ .
But these things are ascribed to the trans community , I don ’ t know who the hell by , but they ’ re ascribed to them… It ’ s not the reality.
” On the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Jess says : “ This isn ’ t theoretical to me .
This is practical .
I ran a rape crisis service and a women ’ s domestic abuse service that had trans women within it.
” Referring to the parliamentary report she worked on , which recommended that women ’ s services should not be able to exclude trans women , she states that she trusts organisations to conduct risk assessments .
“ I have turned away women from refuge based on risk to do with child protection , based on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these professional people should be able to risk assess an individual based on an individual , and I hold firm on that view and always have.
” The other label found in feminist circles and on Twitter is “ SWERF ” , i.e .
sex worker-exclusionary radical feminist .
It refers to the belief that prostitution or sex work – this difference in terminology being itself essential to the debate – is inherently oppressive and should be opposed .
On this subject , Jess is crystal clear .
Asked whether she supports the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the women – as opposed to full decriminalisation , she says : “ I do .
I ran a human trafficking service and child sexual exploitation service .
I have met women and children and men who ’ ve been forced into sex slavery , brought on the back of lorries , when they were told they were coming to be nurses or care workers… No one listens to the voices of those trafficked people.
” The Birmingham MP is more direct and self-assured when talking about this issue than any other .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not real consent ” and , on the notion that sex work can be empowering , she says : “ I can only speak from my experience , and that is of horrendous exploitation .
And people being forced to have sex with 20 men in one day , against their will.
” She believes that the current legal situation is a “ sham ” and wonders “ why you can ’ t have decriminalised women , criminalised punters ” while “ resourcing the safety of that system ” as well as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Sometimes there ’ s a bit of a blind spot about capitalism when we ’ re talking about women ’ s bodies , ” she concludes .
It is understood among Labour activists and feminists that Diane Abbott also favours the Nordic model .
In fact , Jess Phillips and the current Shadow Home Secretary appear to share quite a few interests , despite the infamous ‘ I told her to fuck off ’ claim .
Asked whether she would serve in Long-Bailey ’ s shadow cabinet , the leadership hopeful replies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ that would entirely depend on what she wanted me to do ” .
Which brief would she like then ?
“ Home affairs , ” comes the unhesitant response .
“ We need a massive overhaul of how the immigration system works .
It is horrendous and hostile .
And I ’ m not afraid to talk about immigration , which is why I think I ’ d make a good Home Secretary.
” Jess says she would end indefinite detention “ on day one ” .
She laughs off the idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s an island , there ’ s definitely a border ” – but maintains that “ the function of the system needs to be much more humane ” .
I wonder whether she would go further than Labour ’ s current position on immigration : the party has pledged to shut down Yarl ’ s Wood and Brook House , but not all detention centres .
Would she do that ?
“ Over time , you would want to close them all down , and I would base that entirely on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the taxpayer of detention to deliver what is an inhumane system ?
It ’ s so high.
” Jess Phillips looks unlikely to win Labour ’ s leadership election – not unless something big changes .
In the first LabourList/Survation poll of the contest , she came a reasonable third , but with only 9 % of first preferences .
How is she planning to build support ?
“ I do love this question of ‘ how are you planning to do it ’ , like I ’ ve got some sort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is long , ” she points out .
“ I come at it from the low point of having to prove to people that I ’ m not some sort of Tory.
” Noting that there will be lots of new members with voting rights , the contender says you simply have to talk to people and convince them .
“ There ’ s no master strategy beyond being yourself and being honest .
And if that ’ s not enough , it ’ s not enough .
”

labourlist--2020-01-17--Unaccountable, unrepresentative, unfit – we deserve better than BAME Labour

On January 6th , Labour ’ s national executive committee met to discuss rules for the forthcoming leadership and deputy leadership elections .
According to reports , former MP Keith Vaz attended the meeting as the NEC representative for BAME Labour – and stepped down from his position on the same day .
It is improper that Vaz was able to attend this important meeting despite his well-known disreputable conduct , which was the subject of an investigation by the House of Commons committee on standards .
Of course , we should not ignore the contribution that Vaz has made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it is farcical that after such a high-profile and damaging scandal he felt it was appropriate for him to continue in his position .
BAME Labour should have acted much sooner in removing Vaz as the NEC representative .
This incident is emblematic of the ineffectiveness and increasing irrelevance of BAME Labour .
Over the past few years , there have been a number of events , initiatives and reviews to support BAME members of the Labour Party .
At times some of these have yielded success , such as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s BAME Labour conference .
But these successes are sporadic and poorly communicated to members .
Emails from the executive are rare and often we only find out about events and internal democracy – where it exists – through word-of-mouth .
In fact , for the past few months , the BAME Labour website has been dormant and members have been unable to join online .
It now appears that elections for a new BAME Labour NEC representative will be held at the same time as the leadership and deputy leadership elections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BAME members require clarity on the process and who is able to vote .
We should also be given the opportunity to ask the leadership , deputy leadership and NEC candidates about the measures that they will take to advance BAME issues .
This should preferably be done through a BAME Labour organised hustings but , if that ’ s not possible , through an online Q & A or alternative forum .
Other matters that must be addressed include : the development of a fully functioning website that allows members to join @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contesting positions to the BAME Labour executive ; having a publicised constitution ; regular communication with members about the work of the organisation ; clarity about the function of conference and the ability to submit motions .
Fundamentally , BAME Labour must be open to radical reform or it will slide into further irrelevance and only do BAME members of the party , and society , a disservice .
Without internal democracy , accountability and communication , the organisation can not be a successful force for BAME representation and have a clear input @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which we should have a voice – from whether Labour should introduce all-BAME shortlists to how we challenge the government ’ s ‘ hostile environment ’ immigration system .
The organisation must be at the forefront of the discussion of the future of our party at such a pivotal time for Labour and the country .
