For Walthamstow LP members: revised date of leadership nomination meeting 11 February

The guidance issued by the Labour Party General Secretary for running meetings to make nominations for leader and deputy leader has more than one interpretation. To clarify its meaning our meeting proposals were sent for approval to the London Regional Labour Party on 19 January, but to date there has been no response. However in the last 12 hours it's become apparent they may be challenged and our nomination could risk being declared invalid. To address this it is necessary to move the meeting to another date. The executive recognise this will cause inconvenience, but believe it is important for the CLP to be able to submit a valid nomination, and we would be grateful if you can assist in sharing this change of date with others.

The meeting will therefore now take place on Tuesday 11th February at the same venue. The meeting starts at 8pm. Doors open at 7.15pm. Doors will close to admissions at the start of the ‘discussion of candidate qualities’, about 20 minutes into the meeting.

Any Walthamstow Labour Party member who has been a member since on or before 17 December 2019 can vote in this meeting. The other arrangements and timings are the same.

Candidates’ statements: The Labour Party website (here) has statements from the candidates for Leader and Deputy, to read online or download. You need to login with Labour as a first step. A limited number of printed copies of the statements will be available at the meeting.

The message has been sent via the LP Organise system, to the thousands of members in Walthamstow and may take an hour or so to reach everyone.
