This is the politics Keir Starmer wants to bury. The politics of half a million members. The politics of public ownership, wealth taxes & a new economy. The politics of hope. The politics of socialism. But we won't let him - we are not leaving.

When Theresa May left Labour with an open goal in 2017, Momentum kicked the ball wide into the stands The fact they're still celebrating the defeat of 2017 which led to a bad Brexit deal, rise of Boris Johnson and the chaos that followed says it all

It's a lie that only centrism is electable. In 2017, despite sabotage within, Corbyn's Labour won more votes than in 2015, '10, '05 & even '01. Voters responded to an anti-austerity alternative. The project to drag Labour back to elite interests comes from above, not below.
