Just submitted my nomination papers for @OpenLabour national committee. Really looking forward to discussing the future of OL and Labour more broadly!
I& #39;ll be doing some campaigning on here, but hope not to clog the tl with it - here& #39;s a short thread on why I& #39;m running.

I see Open Labour as the future of the Labour Party - not just Labour& #39;s left. We have a real opportunity to influence the direction of the party and build our movement, and I really hope I can be a part of that.
We influence the party through open discourse - Being a part of @SocReview makes me so enthused about the future of Labour, bc its a great group, and a group able to disagree constructively. OL can and should set the tone for how we disagree with each other as a party.
We set the tone by having a presence all over the country. Regional branches are springing up, which is great, and I& #39;m proud to be involved in my region, and was thrilled to be elected to committee. But we must make sure not just to be a top-down organisation.
OL& #39;s outlook can be both national and regional. The problems we face are national & global in scale, but their solutions will look different in each local area.
I want to empower regional groups to greater influence policy on issues that affect them.
