A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
Just done my annual membership report as Membership Secretary of Hackney North CLP: membership has grown by over 13% since the last AGM . It now stands at its highest level since January 2003, before the Iraq War. We've had 64 new members join in the last six months - the vast bulk of them in the last two months.

Good news! A couple of questions, if I may. Don't know if you're allowed to reveal the answer to either.
1) Does 'new' mean new to the CLP or new to the party? Assuming it's the former, are many of the the new members new to the party also? As a new member of the CLP, but not of the party, I'm curious.
2) What is the total membership of the CLP? How does this compare to the lows of 2003/4?
