Coventry Labour

I love seeing political leaflets from the past, particularly my father's first election campaign leaflet from 1972.  Nice beard, dad.  This however, is truly amazing and could almost be used today, albeit with some minor changes.  We'd have to change the bit that talks about us all being in it together, it all sounds a bit too much like David Cameron.  Still, I think we are the only party that could truly claim that.  

Back then we were fighting social injustice and striving for economic security.  As I said, we could almost use it today, as the coalition cuts deepen and the economic problems worsen.  If you aren't a party member, and are concerned by the cuts and want to help fight against social injustice, join us now!

Is there a need for a Women's Group?

This is the topic up for debate at the first meeting of the Warwick and Leamington Women's Group, which meets for the first time on 17th October 2011 at The Warwick Arms, on Warwick High Street at 7.30pm.

Non-members of The Labour Party will be warmly welcomed, but please not that for the time being at least, our group is open only to women.

We'd like this group to act as a means for challenging and eradicating discrimination and promoting equality, and act as a discussion group on topics of interest to us. Please contact me for more information, or join the Facebook group here.
