David Littlefair – 2022 NEC Candidate Statement

The candidate statement from David Littlefair.

Candidate Statement

TO WIN POWER WE MUST MOVE LABOUR BEYOND CITIES:

The Labour Party’s biggest problem is how our membership, manpower and energy is so completely biased toward safe, metropolitan, city seats.

I ask your support with real solutions that will ensure we are spending our time and energy in the right places. I want Labour representing towns like those in the North East where I grew up as much as big cities like London.

Since 2019 I’ve ran Labour Beyond Cities. We work to redistribute Labour’s energy, skills and time away from cities with safe majorities and into towns where we have been losing support.

You might have met me at the many swing seat phone banks we’ve ran, or have had a skilled activist assigned to you from our pool of volunteers.
