Our Northern regional conference set the tone for our work in the next period. The main political discussion on Britain was introduced by Socialist Party executive committee member Ken Douglas.

Party members from Cumbria, Durham, Teesside and Tyneside discussed how we can impact on events in our region, Britain and beyond.

We raised £274 in a fighting fund collection and another £100 on the sale of food and raffle tickets.
