as a labour party member and union rep in workington constituency i'm always very interested in the views of people who have nothing but the best interests of the labour party at heart to give us advice on where we should go now. locally we have decided to abstain from the decisions on who should be the next leader, who should form the national executive and what our policy priorities should be. we have submitted a motion for the party to consider that we allow these decisions to be taken for us by the editorial board of the daily mail. please, if you have the time. forelock-tuggingly yours, dave spart and a few others.
