News from the PLP meeting and Progress fourth term event

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

I’m about to go out to meet Anne Fairweather for tomorrow’s LabourList interview, in which we’ll be talking about the European election results and the future of the Labour Party. Then I’ll be loitering in Westminster looking for news from the PLP meeting tonight. I’ll also be attending the Progress Focus Fourth Term event with Stephen Byers, Ben Bradshaw and Steve Richards, which is sure to be very interesting in the circumstances.

I’m going to try and update this post from my phone, so please excuse typing errors. I’ll also be Tweeting any news I can. You can follow me here.
