The lobby OT the Labour Party Conference will take place between 12 and 2pm outside the Blackpool Winter Gardens Conference Hall.

It's true the politics of the IS are candidate and platform is agreed. Indeed, a joint IS/IMG candidate would provide a bigger attraction for militants and quite possibly, in a General Election, allow the far left to out-poll the Communist Party. Stechford would be a good trial run.

However, if such an agreement can't be reached then obviously we would support the candidate with the better programme on jobs, cuts and racism. As the programme Tariq Ali would support is reflected in the pages of the Red Weekly, we would support him!
