Let's spare a thought for Labour staff

Amidst all the internal elecions and selections going on at the moment, together with the prep for the Annual Conference, we should spare a thought for all the Labour officials making it all happen.

It's easy to forget, if we're not careful.  After all, I don't think I've read a mention of Labour staff in any of the election material I've been sent.  Doesn't mean they're not appreciated.  Certainly in my position as Vauxhall CLP's chair, I've appreciated the support and advice I've received.  And in the Christian Socialist Movement we know at first hand just how committed Labour people are.  In Opposition we will be relying on our people all the more.  It's worth saying every now and then.
