An open letter to Len McCluskey and all Unite members
You hold so many of the cards to make change happen in the Labour Party

MANY of you will know that this summer I have been touring the country talking about democracy in the Labour Party.  Since launching The Democracy Roadshow I’ve been inundated with requests for events.  

At the gatherings I’ve attended so far, the reception has been universally enthusiastic and supportive.

Comrades, the appetite for increased democracy in the Labour Party is overwhelming. Labour is now the biggest progressive political party in Europe, our members and affiliate members are the eyes, ears and brains of our movement. They are the force that will carry Labour into government.
