Preparing for Power

Momentum Norfolk

Following the events of the past 24 hours the scheduled Steering Committee meeting has been converted into an all members meeting to discuss likely developments and to plan responses.
Momentum Norfolk - Statement
On Tuesday the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party will meet to decide the terms of the leadership contest of the Labour Party.  As of today Jeremy Corbyn on the BBC Andrew Marr Show stated that he expected automatically to be on the ballot if Angela Eagle does as she is expected to do and confirm on Monday that she will stand for leadership of the Labour Party.  However it is entirely possible that the NEC meeting on Tuesday will rule that Jeremy Corbyn will need 51 MP's to nominate him before his name goes onto the ballot.  It is clear that the a powerful group within the Parliamentary Labour Party (plp) are determined to deny the members of the party the right to choose their leader and will attempt to keep Jeremy Corbyn off the ballot by any means possible.
That is why we have decided to have a meeting open to members and supporters of Momentum to get involved to get Jeremy Corbyn first (if required) onto the ballot paper and then re-elected leader of the Labour Party.
Please come to the meeting and get involved in Momentum and defend the democratic right of the members to elect the leader of the the Labour Party, the mandate on which Jeremy Corbyn was elected and for a new kind of politics
