The PM leaves office having squandered Labour’s electoral mandate and alienated its grassroots. He will not be missed, writes BRIAN LEISHMAN MP
IN recent years, Labour has become a firmly anti-austerity party committed to putting people and planet before private profit.
I believe that going forward — to rebuild Labour and to win the next election — we need to remain committed to not only opposing austerity, but also to further developing a radical “investment not cuts” agenda.
To me, this is the key issue in the current Labour leadership election and why I’m backing Rebecca Long Bailey, who has again and again showed she can walk the walk as well as talk the talk when it comes to fighting the Tories on this ground.
