LME Rally Highlights at Labour Party Conference

Thank you for joining us in Liverpool for our rally at Labour Party Conference!

Ten years after the referendum, this year’s Rally explored how a Labour government under a new Prime Minister can build a new partnership with the European Union, focused on the challenges of 2026, not 2016.

We were joined by:
Rt Hon. Ed Miliband MP, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs
Rt Hon. Dame Anneliese Dodds MP, Member of Parliament for Oxford East and former Development Minister
Gareth Thomas MP, Member of Parliament for Harrow West and former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department of Business and Trade
Mike Clancy, General Secretary, Prospect
Thomas Vaupel, Deputy Secretary General, Party of European Socialists
Professor Anand Menon, Director, UK in a Changing Europe
Stella Creasy MP, Member of Parliament for Walthamstow and National Chair, LME

We extend thanks to the Party of European Socialists for their generous support.
