The 40 policy issues Labour Conference is choosing whether to vote on today

Delegates from across the country arriving in Liverpool for Labour Party Conference 2024 will vote on what topics to discuss over the coming days.

Delegates are voting today on the priorities ballot, which determines which subjects will be given time for debate throughout conference over the coming days.

The many motions filed in advance by Constituency Labour Parties (CLP) and affiliate groups have been categorised into 40 subjects with only six CLP-backed policy areas and six union-backed policy areas due to make the cut.

The 40 topics being voted on include child poverty, democratic reform, Israel-Palestine, riots, social care, tackling climate change, tax reform and violence against women and girls.

The pro-Starmer campaign group Labour to Win is encouraging delegates to vote for the following topics: Border Security Command, Clean Energy Mission, Crime Mission, Growth Mission, Health Mission and Opportunity Mission.

Meanwhile, the left wing Campaign for Labour Party Democracy recommends CLP delegates vote for Child Poverty, Housing, Israel-Palestine, Patient Safety, Pensioners and Tax Reform.

Unions are reported to be backing the AI And Automation, An Economy For The Future, Future of Local Government, Infrastructure, Making Work Pay For Public Services and Procurement topics.
