Labour

We publish here two reports from local Labour activists, which give an indication of the growing strength of the left-wing within the Labour Party. Despite the attacks, the Corbyn movement marches on.

Brexit has created constitutional chaos. May and the Tories are now a government in name only. The ruling class has completely lost control. Only the election of a socialist Labour government can end the parliamentary paralysis.

Things are heating up in the Labour Party, with the split away of the Independent Group and the continuing intrigues of the right wing in the PLP. Grassroots activists provide here a picture of the militant mood on the ground.

An intense battle is taking place for the future of the Labour Party. Under attack from the Blairites, concessions are being made. But the left must stand firm. Defend Corbyn and fight for socialism!

Chris Williamson MP has been suspended from the Labour Party, hounded by the Labour right wing. We call on all our supporters to defend Williamson against these Blairite attacks.

Jeremy Corbyn has promised the possibility of a second referendum in an attempt to pacify the Blairites. But such compromises will only embolden the Labour right wing. These careerists must instead be shown the door.

Left-winger Jamie Driscoll has seen off a challenge from the right to be chosen as Labour candidate in the race to be the North of Tyne Mayor. This demonstrates the changing balance of forces in the Labour Party.

The fight inside the Labour Party is intensifying by the day, with right-wing MPs splitting away and others threatening to walk too. But instead of joining this struggle, some sectarians are giving lectures from the sidelines.

Seven right-wing MPs have split away from the Labour Party, much to the relief of grassroots members. But many of their treacherous ilk have been left behind. They must be replaced at the first opportunity.

Grassroots Labour members should be able to hold their representatives to account. But Labour right-wingers have vehemently opposed this basic democratic principle.

With the crucial Brexit vote taking place tomorrow, some Labour MPs are buckling under pressure and offering support for May’s fated deal. Instead, they must fight for a general election.
