Ed Miliband to headline Fabian New Year conference

Ed Miliband will be the “special guest” for this year’s Fabian New Year conference, which kicks off the 2013 political year.

This year’s annual conference is themed around the “Next State”, a major Fabian programme looking into how Labour does government and it will take place at the Institute of Education in central London – and LabourList will be media partners for the event, bringing you coverage before and after the event – as well as the customary liveblog…

Announcing the conference, Fabian General Secretary Andy Harrop said:

“2013 is the year Labour needs to get serious about shaping its programme for government. The Fabian New Year Conference begins that process by asking how the left should govern and what our top priorities for power should be. I’m delighted that Ed Miliband will be joining us to take part in the debate and set out his agenda for the year ahead. He’ll be joining almost one thousand of the left’s leading activists and thinkers for the largest one-day political event in the calendar.”
