🗳️🌹🗳️🌹Huge thanks to our friends at the Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform for recommending a vote for Cat Arnold, Jovan Owusu-Nepaul and Kerry Postlewhite - all members of LCER - in this year's elections to Labour's NEC! See our regional ranking recommendations below!

In this year's election, three candidates are members of LCER - Catherine Arnold serves on our Executive Committee, and  Jovan Owusu-Nepaul and Kerry Postlewhite also belong to LCER.

Please consider ranking these as your top three choices (and if you're a member of Mainstream, it will make sense for you to place them in the recommended order for your region). All three are endorsed by Ann Black, longstanding member of LCER and of the NEC.

We have seen over the last 2+ years what happens when the Labour Party listens only to select voices. We need an NEC that represents the broad church, guiding the Party as it resets itself. I’ve voted for these Mainstream candidates, plus trans ally Jess Barnard, with Abdi Duale for balance.
