The Labour right wing felt the wind in their sails at this year’s conference, having taken control of the party, and currently riding high in the polls. But workers should have no trust in the prospect of a capitalist Starmer government.
The much-awaited Forde report has been released, revealing the sabotage undertaken by the Labour right wing against Corbyn and his supporters. The left must learn from this episode: there can be no compromise with these class enemies.
Feeling the wind in their sails, the Labour right wing is on the offensive. And now they are coming for left MPs such as Apsana Begum in Tower Hamlets. The lesson is clear: we need a bold socialist leadership in the labour movement.
After presiding over years of cuts to services, attacks on workers, and rising inequality, the Tower Hamlets Labour council has been dealt a blow by local residents, who have voted out the incumbent Labour Mayor.
‘Sir’ Keir Starmer has cynically used Russia’s attack on Ukraine as an excuse to attack the anti-imperialist left, and to prove his loyalty to the establishment. The labour movement must fight the enemy at home, not the ‘enemy within’.
