Hackney Hosts McDonnell

Posted in Janine's blog on ,

It looks like Hackney TUC's public meeting with John McDonnell next month is going to be a good one. It's jointly organised with Leabridge branch Labour Party, and boasts some big cheese union speakers alongside the socialist candidate for Labour leader.

All of which will doubtless inspire many local activists to come along - and seems to have got our local Labour righties a little agitated too. The Ginger Ninja himself has declared his intention to attend, though oddly seems to think that Hackney TUC sent him an invitation without actually meaning it.

It's amazing the efforts we're prepared to make to get Luke along to our meetings. Several years ago, he wrote to the Hackney Gazette, moaning that HTUC meetings clashed with Labour Party branches therefore excluding Party members from attending. So we obligingly changed the meetings to Wednesday evenings, and did Luke come? Sadly not. Neither did any other local Labour luminaries, only the occasional Labour lefty.

Anyway, without or without Brother Akehurst, it will be a good one. See you there.
