Labour appoints new General Secretary

The Labour Party has today appointed Jennie Formby as the incoming General Secretary. Interviews took place this afternoon and the decision was made by the party’s NEC. Jennie will succeed Iain McNicol.
Jennie Formby said:

“I am honoured to be appointed Labour’s new General Secretary. I would like to thank my predecessor, Iain McNicol, for his tireless dedication to the party over the past seven years.

“Last year’s General Election showed the strength of our movement when we are united, challenging this Government’s failed and damaging policies and campaigning for real change, in the interests of communities across the UK.

“Labour is preparing for government and I look forward to working with Jeremy Corbyn, our party’s staff, Members of Parliament, members and affiliates to oppose the Conservatives’ destructive austerity programme inside and outside Parliament, and to win elections to build a society that works for the many, not the few.”

Iain McNicol said:

“I would like to congratulate Jennie Formby on her appointment as the 17th General Secretary of the Labour Party.

“After seven years serving as General Secretary and with the Party now financially sound I am pleased to be handing over the reins to someone with such strong trade union experience. I’m confident Jennie will build on our electoral gains last year, working with our talented and experienced staff to win the next General Election, whenever it comes.

“As someone who has dedicated her life to fighting for workers’ rights, equality and social justice, I know Jennie will put all the commitment, drive and organising talent into getting Labour into government and Jeremy into Number 10.”

Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour Party, said:

“I would like to congratulate Jennie Formby on her new role as General Secretary of our party. Her talent, experience and commitment to the Labour and Trade Union movement makes me confident she will play a crucial role in building on last year’s inspiring General Election advance and taking our party forward to victory.

“The Labour Party is on the cusp of power and we are ready for a General Election whenever it comes. We have the team, the passion and the policies to win the support of the British people, form a government and transform our society for the many, not the few.”

Notes to editors:
Jennie Formby is currently the South East Regional Secretary of Unite trade union, serving previously as political secretary to the union. Jennie has sat on Labour’s NEC for seven years and served as an NEC Officer and presently as the Vice Chair of the committee.
