Durham Group

In July, the evening before the Durham Miners’ Gala, a launch meeting was held at the Miners’ Hall. Local activists who had been involved in Keep the NHS Public, the ‘Durham No Bedroom Tax’ group and the secretary of the Durham Miners’ Association were joined on the platform by Ellie Mae O’Hagan and Owen Jones. It was a well-attended meeting, with 240 people there and the discussion was very positive.
