THE first thing to say about the final document of the national policy forum (NPF), is that it is not the manifesto.
The document now goes forward to conference, where it can be amended. The manifesto will be drawn from the report as amended at conference.
The manifesto itself is agreed at the “clause five” meeting. That meeting involves the NEC, the shadow cabinet, the parliamentary committee of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the leaders of the Scottish and Welsh Labour Parties, and the chair and three vice-chairs of the NPF and eight trade union members of the Tulo contact group.
