Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
The Labour right wing have carried out a brazen attack on press freedoms, explicitly denying Socialist Appeal journalists entrance to the party’s upcoming Labour conference on political grounds. We urge readers to rally against this injustice.
With conference just over a week away, Starmer and the right wing are going into overdrive with their purge, threatening left delegates with expulsion. The stage is set for one of the most tense and explosive Labour conferences in decades.
Battles are breaking out across the labour movement, with Starmer purging socialists from the party, and the Unison bureaucracy sabotaging the union’s left-wing NEC. The left must make a stand and clear out these agents of the establishment.
Revelations this week have shone a light on the appalling treatment of the Young Labour national committee by the Labour right wing. Grassroots members must mobilise to defend the YL leaders, and organise to defy David Evans’ diktats.
The scandalous expulsion of left-wing film director Ken Loach has provoked widespread anger amongst Labour’s rank and file. The fight against the purge must be both a struggle to clear out the right and a struggle for bold socialist policies.
