"Polls show overwhelming support for public ownership of services and utilities and 78 per cent of the public back a wealth tax."

"Reeves and Starmer are stuck in a fiscal trap they laid...badly in need of something upbeat to say about the future."

"When Jeremy Corbyn (as Labour's Leader) focused on failing bus services during prime minister's questions...he proved to be on the right side of history."

Gordon Brown lifted over a million pensioners out of relative poverty. The next Labour Prime Minister seems intent on repudiating that legacy.

"Distancing himself from the Unions and sidelining internal democracy risks Sir Keir becoming isolated from the rest of the Movement."

"The Labour share of the vote was less than that achieved by Jeremy Corbyn in 2017... It is abundantly clear that the election was a straightforward referendum on the Tory party."

"After four years bending the party to his will, and outmanoeuvring opponents at on the NEC, Starmer has issued a challenge to the left of his party — and lost. At the very moment he is speaking about the 'changed Labour Party', right on cue, the left prises open its sealed tomb."

"Today's Labour Party - in which Sir Keir's defence of Israeli actions that appeared to be war crimes, and an apparent unwillingness to stand up for Palestinian human rights, have caused widespread disquiet."

"Sir Keir Starmer ran for Leader promising to carry on Jeremy Corbyn's ideas. To proclaim that there's no place for Jeremy Corbyn in today's Labour Party...not only looks vindictive, it poses serious questions about the consistency of Starmer."

"David Lloyd George lied and sued; Anthony Eden lied about Suez in parliament; Tony Blair lied about weapons of mass destruction; Boris Johnson is part of a long tradition. Winston Churchill coined the parliamentary euphemism 'terminological inexactitude' back in 1906."

The Labour Party's failure to offer a set of policies to address the crisis facing the poorest is inexplicable. Labour could e.g. commit to inflation-proofing all benefits and to a living wage.

'Toxic factionalism in our Party is far from over nor are persistent problems of racism and sexism - as Forde makes clear... Are we a democratic socialist party, run by members and affiliated organisations?'

Labour should use its airspace to articulate a humane alternative to the Tories' racist agenda. The Campaign for Labour Party Democracy is promoting a motion for CLPs to submit, urging the Labour leadership to do just that.

"Solidarity with RMT. We must stand with them as they take a stand against pension cuts and attacks on jobs and conditions."
