Markus Keaney, chair of Luton South CLP, explains how grassroots members have had enough of the sabotaging shenanigans of right-wing Labour MPs. We need mandatory reselection.

Victory for the left-wing candidate in the Welsh Labour leadership contest shows the desire amongst grassroots members for genuine change. This means fighting for bold socialist policies.

Angela Smith, the right-wing Labour MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, has received a no confidence vote from members of her CLP. This is why we need mandatory reselection.

John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, has gone one better than his Tory counterpart’s promise to end austerity, pledging to reverse all cuts. But what economic measures will a Corbyn Labour government need to take?

The Blairites were in full retreat in Liverpool this week. By contrast, the confidence of the Corbyn movement was on display throughout: in the motions passed and in the militant speeches of left-wing MPs.

The shadow chancellor’s endorsement of the old Clause IV is a welcome step forward. Labour must now firmly commit itself to a bold socialist programme. Nationalisation without compensation!

Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have made a number of bold and much-welcomed pledges in order to fix the “broken economy”. But what kind of economic programme should a Labour government carry out?

Conservative elements within Labour’s ruling body are thwarting attempts to put more power in the hands of grassroots members.

A local Labour member paints a picture of the real mood on Merseyside in the wake of the Blairite MP’s resignation from the Labour whip.

Appeasement by Labour’s leading body won’t stop the attacks on Corbyn from the Blairites and the establishment.

The ruling class in Britain is in a deep crisis. But instead of fighting to bring down the Tory government, the Labour right wing is doing their best to prop up the failed status quo.
