Now I have been selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate in Streatham I am looking to focus my energies on Streatham from hereon. I am therefore looking to divest myself of several other activities I am involved with, one of which is running TMP.
To all our regular readers, apologies for the less than regular postings of late – I simply have not been able to devote the time to TMP that I did before being selected. Until we find a new editor I’m afraid new posts will appear, at most, on a weekly basis on this site.
Who are we looking for to take on the mantle of TMP? In short, someone who identifies with the values of TMP, can write (preferably they will have journalism experience), is well versed in the workings of the British Labour Party (though membership of the party is not a prerequisite), and has a good grasp of policy issues, in particular those touching on ethnic minority communities. It is an unpaid post but would be a good stepping stone for anyone looking for a career in journalism and/or politics and is immensley rewarding. It does not involve a huge time commitment.
If you would be interested, please drop me a line using the “contact†page on this site.
Otherwise, you can read my thoughts on national issues, on www.streathamlabour.org.uk and on the Guardian’s Comment Is Free site where I post stories on a regular basis.
