Having been elected onto UNISON's delegation by the National Labour Link Committee I'm currently speeding on the train towards Brighton for this year's Labour Party Conference.
This is a really important conference given the economic circumstances on top of it being the last before a General Election.
For UNISON we will will be taking UNISON's Million Voices into the heart of the party and making sure we are heard. Our primary issue, and the contemporary issue UNISON has submitted to the Conference, is the public finances and how we can protect public spending and head off damaging and wasteful privatisation.
The mission for the delegation, as highlighted in Dave Prentis's speech to our National Delegate Conference in the same hall at the beginning of the summer, is to make sure that the Labour Party goes into the next election with policies our members can support.

Good luck with persuading the Party Leadership not to pursue cuts and privatisation!
I hope Labour Link will look at how we can target support to the handful of Labour MPs who will support us so that we have some voices at Westminster on our side when the next Government attacks our members.
