Fabian Public Fringe at Labour Party Conference 2010

The Fabian Society put on a full public fringe programme for Labour Party Conference 2010. Given the backdrop of a newly elected party leader, the Fabians used this moment to reflect and debate the next chapter of Labour's future vision and strategies.
