PLMR Hosts Exclusive Interview with Lucy Powell on Deputy Leadership Bid

In the midst of Labour Party Conference in Liverpool PLMR hosted the special LabourList interview with Deputy Leadership candidate Lucy Powell. Right at the centre of conference the PLMR Hub hosts events, networking and roundtables throughout conference.

 

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:

“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. It has been wonderful to have both Lucy and Bridget share their thoughts.

 

The Deputy Leader of the Labour Party holds an incredibly important role, and the Party’s future success matters deeply to me. Having both candidates work with PLMR to share their views and pitches to our party is a great way to engage as many members as possible in this process.

 

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.”
