@billybragg How, Billy, how? Here’s some things I’ve tried already
- proposed motion supporting PV/Remain to CLP and got it through
- attended Conferenc
- wrote open letter calling on NEC to convene special conference. Got it signed by 250 members in 24 hours
1/

@billybragg - because so many members wanted to sign the letter even after it had been sent, I converted it to a petition. Signed by 3500 members in 3 weeks over Christmas/New Year
- got letter and petition mentioned in national press and Labour List
2/

@billybragg - tried to present petition personally to @jeremycorbyn when he visited my constituency. Wasn’t allowed to approach him. Full story here

3/

@billybragg @jeremycorbyn - took petition to Labour London HQ and delivered by hand. Only to be told that “it’s procedural and procedural motions are dealt with by the organisational sub committee which met last Tuesday and don’t meet again until end of March!”

@billybragg @jeremycorbyn - oh, nearly forgot, proposed emergency motion to my CLP calling for special conference on Brexit policy. Got that passed too

What more would you suggest I do, Billy?

At this stage, I’ll try anything to get @jeremycorbyn to listen to members. So if you’ve got any ideas

End/

@billybragg @jeremycorbyn PS. I did forget about
- writing to every member of Shadow Cabinet
- emailing @jeremycorbyn and other Shadow Cabinet members on regular basis
- constant tweeting to remind @jeremycorbyn @SeumasMilne and others of policy agreed at conference and how they’re not following it
