Born in the NHSOnly a Labour Government can save our NHS writes Pavilion Labour’s Chair, Jon Rogers, because only Labour will recreate the NHS as it was founded, to a system based on need not profit, including joint planning with a national care service. Labour’s transformative programme to rebuild Britain in the interests of the many not the few, is provoking attacks from those who oppose social progress. The best response from all Labour supporters is to talk to voters and take our Party’s message back to our streets.

Pavilion Labour says: Free our trade unions!

24.06.18 Eid groupEnjoy highlights of the main speeches with this playlist from Pavilion Labour’s Multi-cultural Eid Festival​, including the major speeches from Asmat Roe – Brighton & Hove Muslim Women’s Group and Vice-Chair of Brighton and Hove’s Racial Harassment Forum, who describes the history and ongoing work of the Forum in tackling and reducing racist and religiously-motivated incidents, and the reflections of self-described “Windrush minor” Bert Williams MBE.

Fair Deal at work_halfLabour and the TUC agree that workers need a £10 an hour minimum wage, secure jobs and an end to zero hour contracts. Labour stands for a growing economy where our national wealth is shared rather than going to those who are already well off. People who have lived, worked and paid taxes in our country for years must not be deported because of the colour of their skin. The Windrush Generation is part of our society. We want a fair deal at work for everyone, not just those at the top.

OurNHS!  .  We won’t stop fighting for our NHS until it’s saved!

Proposed constituencies_17.10.17 (2)Is Pavilion no longer facing oblivion?  The Boundary Commission has now published its revised proposals for the boundaries of Brighton and Hove’s three parliamentary constituencies.  These may be less absurd than the Commission’s last proposals, but we still encourage everyone to have a good look and, if you wish to (we think you might), submit comments before this final consultation ends on 11 December 2017.

Peace posterThe six year old war in Syria has caused untold misery.  As Labour’s leadership stands out against action that escalates conflict, Theresa May’s focus is on arms sales and her Government offers nothing constructive towards peace in the Middle East.  By contrast, Labour believes in an ethical foreign policy.

Vote Labour on Thursday 12 December for a fairer society and an economy that works for the 99%.
