Labour staff up for snap election

The party is match-fit for an early contest, Jon Trickett will tell the ruling NEC. 

By Stephen Bush

Labour is fighting fit for an early election, Jon Trickett will tell the party’s ruling national executive committee tomorrow.

Trickett, who as well as being one of Jeremy Corbyn’s appointees to the NEC, is charge of the party’s election campaign, will lay out the party’s plans to move to bigger offices as it bolsters its campaign apparatus in preparation for an early election, which, sources say, have “accelerated” the leadership’s progress in changing the internal workings of the party.
