Before both candidates head to Liverpool on Saturday, PLMR hosted the special LabourList interview with Deputy Leadership candidate Bridget Phillipson.
This exclusive interview was hosted by PLMR and conducted by Emma Burnell, Editor of LabourList, the home of Labour news, views and opinion. PLMR and LabourList have continued to collaborate following the success of our joint Labour Tribes Mapped Project.
Kevin Craig, CEO and Founder of PLMR said:
“The Deputy Leader of the Labour Party holds an incredibly important role, and the Party’s future success matters deeply to me.
I’m delighted we are continuing our partnership with LabourList. Hearing directly from the candidates about their vision for the country, and the challenges Labour faces, is vital to how many will vote in this election.
At PLMR we work closely with political parties because what happens inside them sets the tone for policy and government. Businesses cannot afford to ignore the impact the winner of this vote will have on policy.”
Emma Burnell, Editor LabourList, said:
“I am grateful to PLMR for their invaluable support and flexibility in making this interview happen. At LabourList we are dedicated to bringing Labour news to members of the Party and everyone who cares about how the party of Government works. This Deputy Leadership race is vital to the future of the Party, and we continue to be the best source of news on the ongoing election.”
