A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
The lucky GC delegates of Harrow West CLP will be seeing me in action tonight debating the case for Trident replacement versus Walter Wolfgang, Vice-Chair of CND and Labour NEC Member.

Do you tour CLPs speaking about Trident? I was thinking of organising a debate about this but was struggling to find anyone who was willing to speak in favour!

I'm not intending to do all 600+ CLPs (having my council and childcare duties to attend to) but drop me a line at luke.akehurst@hackney.gov.uk and I will try to find you a speaker.
