Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

UNISON nominates Corbyn

http://www.unison.org.uk/media-centre/unison-supports-jeremy-corbyn-in-the-labour-leadership

I should leave the country more often!

For the first time in 12 years I miss a meeting of the UNISON National Executive Council (NEC) and what happens?

Our General Secretary pledges vigorous opposition to the Trade Union Bill, the NEC offer solidarity to Max Watson (facing the threat of dismissal) and John Burgess (facing threats from the far right) - and the NEC elects the majority of members of a National Labour Link Committee who go on (on the same day) to offer a supporting nomination for Labour Leader to Jeremy Corbyn‎.

In completely unrelated news, the NEC had on its agenda proposals for an election for General Secretary. 

About which I'll blog when I'm back in the country.
