To develop and push ahead as a solid and driven force for Labour victory, it is vital that London Young Labour has a degree of self-determination. If elected, I would negotiate with the party establishment to ensure that a guaranteed portion of LYL members’ money goes back into LYL as a body, allowing us to spend to ensure better training, campaigning and resources.

To enable that this money goes to the fairest, most accessible body possible, I will also ensure that the next London Young Labour AGM will be voted on by OMOV. In the 21st century, it is indefensible that packing out a room to ensure factional victory is the order of the day. To enable the vast majority of our members - who are not political anoraks willing to give up their Saturdays often in unaccessible, stressful environments to elect a committee. but ordinary workers and students inspired by our Party - to participate meaningfully, this is a necessity.

Another core problem is that of data - I would also push for the Campaigns and Membership Officer to be granted access to our membership data, as CLP officers already have. It is not a ridiculous prospect that we should be allowed to contact our young members - it should be a given. Should I be elected, I will be vocal in fighting for this.

Shelly Asquith has been a longstanding and vocal advocate for the socialist, anti-austerity politics of the Labour left, even when they weren't popular, an honour to have an endorsement!

Really pleased to have been endorsed by Momentum!

The energy and innovation that Momentum activists brought to campaigning were a key factor in the historic gains made by the Labour Party in June. From challenging the consensus that harnessing the power of social media was a frivolous waste of time and developing new digital campaigning tools, to reaching out to non-voters who had been written off or campaigning to devolve power to ordinary rank and file members, Momentum has proven itself as the most dynamic force in British politics.

I've worked closely with many people across the organisation and the broader Labour movement, and look forward to taking what I've learnt into the role of London Young Labour chair.

Merry Christmas! 🎄

This is great to hear!! Artin was invaluable in helping organise the Momentum Youth & Students Political School, as the Momentum endorsed left candidate for London Young Labour Chair next year he's the perfect person for the job of reaching out to the organisation's nearly 15,000 inactive members!

As a teacher, I deeply understand the importance of education and the change it can have on people. If elected chair, I will launch a bi-annual program of political education, comprised of one session per week related to all sorts of different subjects - and based off the recent success of the Momentum Youth and Students London Political School that I helped organise this autumn just gone.

The success of these events was twofold. Firstly, both new and more experienced activists learnt about the modern and historical context of our movement. A wide range of speakers freely and enthusiastically gave their time; from economists to trade union organisers, parliamentarians to Young Labour activists, all were received warmly by a large and attentive audience.

Secondly, these events regularly engaged 50 to 60 London Young Labour members, who had previously been totally inactive. We engaged with our membership in a way that we have as yet been unable to in LYL; by placing education and real discussion at the forefront of my campaign, I intend to generalise this success with Momentum and double the active membership of LYL.

In addition to a LYL Political School, by developing better relationships with industrial trade unions we can broaden the educational opportunities available to our members. The trade union movement, its structure, and its struggles, are not a step on the political ladder - they are the lifeblood of our movement.
