Want a conference pass? Good luck…

July 16, 2012 9:19 am

Update: It seems to have been fixed now. Get your passes while they’re hot…

Labour Party conference is around 10 weeks away, so time is of the essence if you want to get a pass. Yet whether you’re a member, a delegate, press or a commercial partner, when you log on this morning to try and obtain a pass you’ll see this:

Now – sadly – we’re no stranger to the occasional server issue here at LabourList, but how are members (and others) meant to get their conference tickets? This problem has now been ongoing for 12 hours – and counting…

  • Simon Jones

    Fair enough but there are probably over 1,000 hours left to submit an application before the problem gets critical. Would you prefer Labour spent ten of thousands extra on 99.99% reliability or saved the cash for campaigns and accepted a bit of down time?

    Miliband is off to speak to Google – but it’s not all about tax avoidance

    Ed Miliband is speaking at the Google “Big Tent” event this morning, and as we noted earlier this week, he’s picking a bit of a fight with them over their tax affairs. Understandably, most of the press coverage in advance of Miliband’s speech (and presumably afterwards too) is about Google’s tax affairs. That’s in part due to David Cameron’s unwillingness to challenge his adviser, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, when the two met earlier this week. The Downing Street media team [...]

    Labour MPs and Equal Marriage – analysis, and some special mentions

    More evidence of that slick Downing Street media operation…

    Ed Miliband is addressing Google’s Big Tent, and is expected to attack them over tax avoidance. So the slick Downing Street operation presumably want to get out ahead of that, right? Not quite. Here’s a selection of the headlines from Tuesday’s papers: ‘Stop moralising about tax avoidance, PM told’ – Guardian p.23 ‘Tougher tax rules would cost jobs, minister warns’ – Financial Times p.3 ‘Cameron avoids showdown over Google tax row’ – Times p.15 ‘No taxing questions as PM lets [...]

    Where are the women over 50 on our TV screens?

    Most people like to think that we live in a society that is fair and equal but for some it is still not equal at all. When it comes to TV presenters, women disappear when they reach over the age of 50. As part of the work of the Older Women’s Commission, I wrote to the six main UK broadcasters asking them how many older women they employ on screen and behind the camera. The figures provided by broadcasters show [...]

    The Loneliness of the Long Distance Leader

    That’s it. Enough is enough. I try to be reasonable. But you can only push somebody so far. It’s time to sort this out once and for all. I am fed up with this huge and growing army of sycophants and cheerleaders constantly bigging up Ed Miliband, and making helpful or supportive interventions on his behalf. The list is endless. Let’s shine a spotlight on the guilty men and women. There’s… well, there’s… er… you know… er… thingy… on a [...]
