Ways to Win in Aylesbury
We were joined by Barry Gardiner MP.
Barry is an experienced Labour MP with a National and International profile and a very effective communicator and campaigner.
He shared his knowledge and ideas with us on how we can, and will, win in Aylesbury at the next election.
We learned, in an extended Q and A session, what Labour will do differently to manage the country and help us all recover from 13 years of Tory government.
If you are a member of the Labour Party, join us.
We are gaining members and confidence as the need for change becomes ever more apparent.

Our MP Laura Kyrke-Smith for Aylesbury has issued a statement on the gov't's historic abortion amendment, immediately stopping the arrests, investigations, and prosecutions of women seeking desperate medical care.
"Today I voted in favour of Tonia Antoniazzi’s abortion amendment, New Clause 1 (NC1), to the Crime and Policing Bill.
This amendment will end the prosecution of women for ending their own pregnancies, of which there have been increasing cases in the last five years. NC1 is targeted and narrow to solve this current problem. It changes absolutely nothing regarding how abortion is provided or the conditions set out in the Abortion Act for legal access regarding grounds, time limit, two doctors signatures.
It just excludes women from the underlying criminal law.
NC1 protects women and abortion services and is backed by the sector - including every abortion provider and organisation that represents them in the UK - 5 Royal Medical Colleges, the British Medical Association, countless Violence Against Women and Girls groups, Women’s Rights groups and unions.
It will immediately stop the arrests, long investigations, and prosecutions of women.
I am pleased the amendment passed today. No one should face criminal investigations for seeking medical care at the most desperate moments of their lives. This will now end.
