LRC Conference Statement on Lebanon

At today's LRC Conference I made the following statement on the grave situation in the Lebanon.

"Before I introduce the LRC's Executive Statement to this year's conference I want to say a few words about what is happening in the Lebanon. Most of us have come here today enthusiastic at the very start of a new and exciting campaign. But our thoughts can't help but turn to the men, women, and yes children, who are suffering and dying in the Lebanon, Gaza and Israel.

As troops mass on the Lebanese border, I am ashamed that the British Government alongside the Bush regime is one of the only countries in the world to refuse to call upon Israel to ceasefire.

Isn't it time that we had a British Prime Minister who led this country in peace rather than was led by Bush in war? How much more suffering does it take to force Bush and Blair to act? We know that one call from Bush would halt the Israeli attacks.

If Tony Blair won't do it, then we will. From this conference today, we call for an immediate ceasefire in the name of humanity.

I give this commitment. In our campaign in the coming weeks and months we will reassure people that the pursuit of peace will be a central role of any future real Labour Government."

and what a great conference it was!

I was so impressed by the amount of committed young people that turned up to the Youth Caucaus it was the best attended youth meeting ive been to for years.

All the people there were up for this fight and as a young person in the labour party I finally have something to inspire me.

Well done John! and all at the LRC!

We seem to be going the right way in the middle east with the latest statement from Kim Howells.

John, I'm glad of the LRC Conference calling for a ceasefire. Can I also say, it was great to have Jeremy Corbyn bringing news from the Conference to the Demo on Saturday as it showed not only Labour supporters but perhaps more importantly everyone there that there is voice from within the Labour party on this issue despite Blair, and it is not just Respect that hold a position on this, despite the current Labour leadership.
