Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
In a recent revealing speech, the Labour leadership have outlined their economic strategy. Their message of ‘fiscal responsibility’ is aimed at appeasing big business. But only a bold socialist programme can offer a future to workers.
Under pressure from Keir Starmer and wealthy donors, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard has stepped down. The right wing wants to expunge all remnants of Corbynism from the party. But this will only hasten its decline.
The Labour right wing are determined to drive left activists out of the party, in an attempt to appease the establishment. We spoke to comrades singled out in this witch-hunt, discussing the need to fight back and put members in control.
The situation inside Labour is at an impasse. The right wing are attacking grassroots members, carrying out suspensions and banning democratic discussion. Only an immediate national conference can resolve this crisis.
Keir Starmer and the Labour right wing have stepped up their attacks against the left, with a spate of scandalous suspensions taking place recently. The left must go on the offensive, with the aim of driving out Starmer and the right.
