Red Rose Reporting

We're back! After a break in uploads, Red Rose Spotlights returns to shine the light on activists, campaigns, and outlets which make up the Labour movement!

To try and understand the issues facing rural Labour, Jacob Allen agreed to kindly come on the podcast and talk about his role as an organiser: as well as highlighting what went wrong last election in rural seats like Guildford. 

Open Labours Abi Barinski, Co-Membership officer on the National Executive, joins us today to discuss Citizens UK, the Young Labour Elections and how she's settling into the role following her election in the spring of 2020. 

IF Abis highlighting of the work that Citizens UK do makes you want to see more, here is a link to their website where it gives a handy intro to the sort of work that they do: https://www.citizensuk.org/what_we_do

This episode of Red Rose Spotlights focuses on Tessa Milligan, the co-chair of Open Labour and expert on all things STV! We chat about the state of the Young Labour ELections, the emphasis on why STV could change the culture within the organisation and her role within Open Labour. 

For an OL view on STV, check out this Labour List Article on why Tessa and others believe in the value of  STV.

In the final week of the nominations stage of the Young Labour Elections, Louise Leslie has decided to throw her hat into the ring! In a snap interview, we chart her journey through the Labour Movement, why she's fronting a campaign based around safeguarding victims of sexual assault and of course: what policy she would implement in the Red Rose Speciality question.

Amen Tesfay joins George Fairhurst to talk about the 1987 caucus, Socialists of Colour, the problems facing PoC within the party, his own experiences and what can be done to better expand and promote diversity within the party. This episode is slightly longer than the usual 15-20 minute interviews just because Amen rightly had a lot to say on the issues!

We were lucky enough to grab a sit down and a chat with hopeful for the Chair of Young Labour: Eluned Anderson. We touch on her background in the party, her beliefs in the decentralising Young Labour and the culture inside Young Labour that many have launched their campaigns to change.
