Northern Region LRC gets behind two socialist candidates in SE Northumberland

On Saturday 23rd Jan the Northern Region LRC (Labour Representation Committee) met in Gateshead to hear a speech from Ronnie Campbell MP for Blyth Valley in Northumberland. Ronnie, who is a well known life long socialist and former NUM activist, addressed the 17 strong gathering of LP and TU activists and laid out his view of the Labour Movement, a view of it’s history and the perspectives for the coming election. He spoke of the attacks being faced by working people from the government and under the current conditions of the crisis of capitalism, and stated that it was “always the working class who has to take the brunt of these attacks!” and that the Labour Party “needs to return to the socialist traditions upon which it was built!”. Ronnie, who has a solid record of voting against
government policies which attack the working class, has long been a supporter of the aspirations of the LRC and was one of the MPs who voted for John McDonnell in his campaign to get onto the ballot paper for the leadership election two years ago. Back then Ronnie spoke on the same platform as John and again, stood shoulder to shoulder with him on all the basic socialist demands of the left.   [continue...]
