Thank You and Looking Forward

Congratulations to everyone elected and re-elected as constituency representatives:

• ARNOLD Catherine
• BARNARD Jessica
• DAVIES Angela
• BOLTON Gemma
• THOMAS Jane
• POSTLEWHITE Kerry
• DUALE Abdi
• ACHILLEOS Andrew
• MASON Peter

The full results are available here.   I must say that I was disturbed by some unseemly triumphalism from “Labour To Win”, as if everyone else wanted to lose.  It reminds me of when I first stood 25 years ago, misrepresented by the same people as a hard left wrecker.  To portray Cat and Kerry (and Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, who was runner-up) as part of the enemy within is untrue and insulting, and prolongs the factionalism which does so much damage.  They are true moderates, responsible and accountable, and they have my support.   Please trust them.

An account of my last full NEC meeting is here.  A final report will follow conference, and hopefully end on an upbeat and positive note.  Good luck and good wishes to all.

Ann Black, NEC constituency representative 2000-2018, 2020-2026.
