The Tory conference was dominated by reactionary elements and the issue of brexit. Johnson presents himself as the voice against the establishment, however, thousands turned up to protest Tory austerity and call for a Corbyn Labour government.
Margaret Hodge faces a reselection contest. Blairites defend her ‘anti-racist’ record, when her anti-immigrant housing policies were supported by the BNP. Her rhetoric against anti-semitism has been weaponised against Corbyn. Deselect now!

This year’s Labour conference will be pivotal. Delegates will have the opportunity to define the direction of the party and sculpt the most radical manifesto ever. We call on delegates to fight for bold socialist policies.
Labour’s NEC recently voted to get rid of Labour Students. The organisation has shown disdain for democracy, rigging elections to ensure right-wingers remain in control. We need a Labour Students organisation that will fight for socialist policies.
