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.

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.

Welcome from our Chair – Jon Rogers, honoured to have been elected as the new Chair of Brighton Pavilion Labour Party, introduces himself and encourages all Labour members and supporters to participate in our local Labour Party.

Meet Our Exec – find out more about each of the members of our new Executive Committee, elected by our members to run Brighton Pavilion Labour Party and administer our Party’s business day-to-day.

End Tories’ “Hostile Environment”

Under the Tories, 63 black British citizens, members of the Windrush Generation, have been deported. Others have been denied NHS treatment, made homeless, lost jobs, refused pensions, or been criminalised, and more cases remain unresolved weeks after the Tory Government promised ‘urgent action’ within a fortnight. Labour would repeal the Tories’ racist ‘hostile environment’ policy and we call on its author – Theresa May – to take responsibility and resign.

For a Fair Deal at Work

Labour 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.
