In the 1990s the Third Place First campaign was at the heart of taking Labour into ‘unwinnable’ seats – and capturing them. Now we are pleaseed to relaunch the campaign for the party to rebuild its presence throughout the country…
Relaunching Third Place First: no no-go areas for Labour
Committee room 7, House of Commons, 7pm, 18 January 2011
With Keith Dibble, Andy Burnham, Stephen Twigg, Joan Ryan, Deborah Mattinson, Richard Angell

For Ed Miliband’s party to regain power it must prove to the electorate that it is a truly national party and not just a party of the cities and industrial heartlands. It must:
– Ensure the party functions in every CLP
– Rebuild its local government base
– Fight every council seat and by-election
– Win the battle of community politics to become the natural party to represent every neighbourhood
– Campaign all year round – not just at election time
– Show evidence that Labour can and does make a difference
– Win seats from third place in seats such as Cambridge, Hemel Hempstead, Bristol North West, Watford, Castle Point, Reading East, St Albans, Wimbledon, North West Norfolk, Wyre Forest, Shrewsbury and Atcham and Leeds North West.
We look forward to you joining us to make Labour Third Place First!
Since the launch we have been out campaigning in Hemel Hempstead, and will be in Guildford and Aldershot on 16 April 2011. Please do join us then.
