The Progressive London conference on 30 January is shaping up to be a key event in what is a crunch year in politics, with two leading members of the Cabinet now confirmed as speakers at the event. Leader of the House of Commons – and Labour Party deputy leader – Harriet Harman MP will be speaking, as will the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Miliband MP.
 
Ed Miliband’s contribution means a top level discussion on climate change and environmental policy post-Copenhagen will be a key part of the conference. Eugenie Harvey, the Director of the 10:10 campaign, will also be speaking, as will Serge Lourie the LibDem leader of Richmond Upon Thames council, Joss Garman of Greenpeace, and Green member of the London Assembly Darren Johnson.
 
Progressive London was in the news yesterday with the Evening Standard reporting that Mercury prize winner Speech Debelle will be appearing at the event.  

The conference is shaping up to be one of the most important political gatherings in the run-up to the general and local elections. To be sure of your ticket book in advance here.
