Labour to Win has already started organising for Labour's national policy forum elections, with a call for potential candidates to apply for their endorsement ahead of nominations opening in January. They're aiming to put up a total of 55 candidates.
(And you thought the party's internal elections were over for a good while. You even hoped as much, didn't you?)
Good news for those who recognised themselves in the tweet above: it turns out there are no Labour NPF elections in the new year! This has taken quite a few people by surprise...
I'm told 'Org Sub' (the NEC's organisational subcommittee) signed off a paper that made no mention of NPF elections – and that is because they have been deferred due to Covid.

Time for a thread – Labour huddle with Keir Starmer's spokesperson 🧵👇
They made a mistake last weekend: Starmer will actually be out of self-isolation on Tuesday, not Wednesday. Also he has tested negative for Covid-19.
Labour will only reveal how it will vote on a deal once it sees a deal and when the party knows the terms of any vote. But spokesperson says: "No deal would be absolutely catastrophic."

Special Labour NEC meeting has finished and action plan agreed. Labour spokesperson: “Labour’s national executive committee has given its approval to the draft action plan it is required to submit to the Equality and Human Rights Commission this week."
"It covers all the EHRC's recommendations and is an important step towards Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner's commitment to rebuilding trust and confidence with our Jewish members and the Jewish community."
Understand the draft action plan was agreed nem con, i.e. unanimously, and everyone who contributed to the NEC discussion talked about the importance of implementing the plan and moving on.

"I’m deeply frustrated that we’re in this place," Keir Starmer tells #JLM2020. "I can’t tell you how disappointed how I was with Jeremy Corbyn’s response... That has exacerbated the pain and the hurt and we’re in a position that I did not want to be in."
"I genuinely thought on the day of the Commission report we could take the next important step of mending the situation... We’ve had to be tough, determined. We’re very conscious of the atmosphere at some CLP meetings at the moment. We're determined to deal with that."
Starmer emphasises need to "change the culture" of the Labour Party and says: "It has to come from me. I have to lead that zero tolerance." Of the Nottingham East Labour meeting: "We’re not going to tolerate this behaviour in our party." #JLM2020

At #JLM2020, Joan Ryan called for "examination" by Starmer & frontbench of roots of antisemitism in Labour. Mike Gapes said Starmer had "been doing a good job so far – much better than I expected" & he "can't back down". Neither confirmed applying to join Labour again.
In panel on Manchester, Andy Burnham says "I don’t agree with the construct of Tier 3", which hits hospitality v hard, and Christmas will be "a case of famine, feast, famine". Angela Rayner says Burnham has been "vilified and attacked on a personal level" by government. #JLM2020
On Labour antisemitism, Rayner says: "I’m really sorry that happened in the Labour Party. It never should have happened. It’s a source of shame for us." #JLM2020

Understand that legal proceedings have started today and Corbyn's team believe that upcoming release of written correspondence "will remove any ambiguity" that "there was a deal" between them and the leader's office on Corbyn's reinstatement to the party.
Labour source says: "Any accusation that this was a deal or an attempt to determine the outcome of the NEC panel and disciplinary process is wrong."
One account of the situation is that Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, a LOTO staffer, Len McCluskey and Jon Trickett met the day after Corbyn's suspension, and it was agreed that discussions would be taken forward over what would need to be said to allow reinstatement.

Thread of important bits from Ann Black's characteristically comprehensive NEC report: annblack.co.uk/nec-report-24-…
Chair process now being formalised: "the NEC agreed that custom and practice regarding the election of the vice-chair and chair should be explicitly included in NEC procedures, and also that seniority should be based on total years on the NEC rather than continuous years".
Ann Black is "hoping" that general secretary David Evans issues a statement soon on the Corbyn NEC panel. @aliceperryuk mentioned in her report that Evans offered a "very welcome" clarification in the meeting.
