Shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott MP will deliver the opening keynote speech. With rising violent crime and the effects of Conservative police cuts in the news, Diane’s speech promises to be a significant intervention.
Shadow Brexit secretary, Keir Starmer MP will join us for an update on the Brexit negotiations. The Labour party has recently developed its Brexit policy and with key votes coming soon, this is your chance to hear from Keir and ask your questions.
Former Labour leader, Ed Miliband MP will speak in a special ‘in conversation’ event with writer and campaigner Melissa Benn. Ed’s experience as leader, and advocacy on a range of issues since, mean that this will be a highly insightful session
