An edited transcript of the introduction to this meeting, and a recording of the rest can be found here.

Labour faces challenges on the right from Reform and the left from the Greens. These smaller parties might win, but even where they do not, they might pull votes from us and cause us to lose.

We discussed the practicalities of campaigning where the smaller parties are posing a threat to the Labour Party.
