All my tweets from, and some reflections on, today's #LondonLab14 conference: storify.com/bitoclass/london-labour-...
Good to speak to @aliceperryuk after #LondonLab14; hope she's right & cllrs are being listened to more about perilous state of local govt £!
And that's a wrap, then #RedFlag #LondonLab14 https://vine.co/v/OnUgHtFMHb5
Wasn't surprised to see a rendition of the Red Flag would end #LondonLab14 proceedings, but didn't foresee Jerusalem coming first
Clive's mooted parking space levy includes free parking spaces and workplace parking spaces. Interesting idea, could be good? #LondonLab14
Clive: "If I were Mayor of Ldn—I'm not standing, I'm the only one who's not—I'd put a levy on parking to fund public transport" #LondonLab14
Val's closing words call for us to assert London as a national capital in the best sense, doing our bit to heal UK's N/S divide #LondonLab14
Alice's last words today are on devolution - "there's a lot of innovative thinking in local gov't and we know the issues best" #LondonLab14
Both Val and Clive call for franchises to be run publicly as each one expires. So do most of public - c'mon, @labourtransport! #LondonLab14
Val: "You say rail nationalisation, I say regionalisation: local democratic control", via Ken's successful Ldn Overground model #LondonLab14
Val says transport poverty is a real concern, and soaring fares risk pushing more people back onto the roads. #LondonLab14
Wide-ranging Qs in this session, including in the latest batch condemnation of human rights in Qatar, and rail nationalisation! #LondonLab14
Doubt I'll speak in this session so I'll just encourage all at #LondonLab14 to read http://www.silvertowntunnel.co.uk Lab must take evidence-based side
Linda adds to this topic from the UNISON perspective, pointing out evidence suggests outsourcing costs more, doesn't save money #LondonLab14
Alice: One Barnet cllrs see selves as executive commissioners of services—so then why need to be representative? "V dangerous!" #LondonLab14
Answering a Q about outsourcing, Alice Perry calls the "One Barnet" mass outsourcing project "awful and terrifying" #LondonLab14
Claude reiterates that Labour MEPs will not vote for TTIP to touch public services in any way and wants that info shared widely #LondonLab14
Clive's recent NHS anti-privatisation bill would require a specific vote in UK parliament before TTIP could be applied to NHS #LondonLab14
Responding to a Q on TTIP, Claude says all Labour MEPs are working hard to stop this causing problems, esp with NHS #LondonLab14
Alice joins brief list of (I think) 3 ppl today to acknowledge the existence of the office of Mayor of London, attacking Boris. #LondonLab14
Alice is last to speak, talking up the successes of Lab in May but rightly highlighting the "crisis of funding in local gov't" #LondonLab14
I fear those excellent 5 minutes from @ValShawcross will be the only recognition of London's devolved powers here at #LondonLab14 - baffling
Val talks through some of the campaigns the Labour AMs have worked on, including Boris's neglect of bus passengers. #LondonLab14
Val: "this city needs *active management*" to tackle housing, pollution, transport… Not getting that from Boris, obviously. #LondonLab14
Val speaks next. In 2012 twelve Labour AMs were elected - the highest number ever on the London Assembly (set up in 2000) #LondonLab14
Claude encourages members to read all the comms he+other MEPs send so no-one can say we don't know what they do in Europe! #LondonLab14
Claude thanks members for their work delivering in May the best Labour result in a London European election: half MEPs Labour. #LondonLab14
Clive talks about the threat to the NHS in London, and the recent parliamentary vote against NHS privatisation. #LondonLab14
#LondonLab14 pm panel Alice Perry, Claude Moraes, Val Shawcross, chair Linda Perks, Clive Efford & Stephen Alambritis
Tessa has barely any time to say anything but raises campaign she's backing: http://gu.com/p/43mcx Now, back to the main hall! #LondonLab14
