Boris Johnson and the Tories have attempted to make this election one solely focussed on Brexit. But left-wing Labour candidates in Leave-voting areas are trying to win over workers and youth with class-based policies.
With just days until voters go to the polls, Corbyn is touring the country in one last push for a Labour victory. His visit to Wales last weekend highlights the enormous enthusiasm that exists amongst workers and youth everywhere.
As we enter the final week of the election, activists are stepping up their efforts for a Corbyn victory. No matter what the outcome on 12 December, a mass political movement has been created. This genie cannot be put back in its bottle.
Due to the privatisation of the telecoms industry, internet infrastructure in Britain has been outdated for decades. Monopoly conditions allow company bosses to make a killing from poor quality infrastructure. Labour’s recent proposals are a good start.
The establishment is doing their best to dampen spirits surrounding Labour’s election campaign. But with with a radical manifesto in hand and a mass movement on the streets, we can still narrow the gap and put Corbyn in Number 10.
Jeremy Corbyn today launched Labour’s manifesto for this election. It contains a whole host of radical policies that will enthuse workers and youth. But will this programme be enough to provide the ‘real change’ that Labour is promising?
Last election Labour made significant gains in London. This time, there are a number of marginals that Labour can win. Labour activists, and Socialist Appeal supporters, have been mobilising to fight for a socialist Labour government.
In exactly one month’s time, voters will go to the polls. As Labour’s campaign grows and gains, the Tories are going into full panic mode. Keep up the pressure! Fight the Johnson-Farage alliance with bold socialist policies!
Tom Watson’s resignation surprised many. As the focal point of right-wing sabotage in the party, he criticised the likes of Chuka Umunna for ‘prematurely’ jumping ship. His premature departure reflects the demoralisation of the Blairite faction.
Following an NEC decision to prevent Chris Williamson from standing, he has chosen to run as an independent. The left must not let frustrations get in the way of the fight against the Tories.
Streatham CLP was a stronghold for the right wing. Since the departure of local MP Chuka Umunna, there has been a significant shift to the left. Now there is a left-wing candidate and members are mobilising to fight for a socialist Labour government.
