TWO responses have emerged on the left to the decision of Keir Starmer to bar Jeremy Corbyn from continuing to represent Islington North as Labour MP.
They have been neatly expressed. Take first Jon Lansman, Momentum founder, who I first encountered when he ran Tony Benn’s narrowly unsuccessful campaign to be Labour’s deputy leader back in 1981.
Jon’s persistent campaigning on and for the left through sunshine and rather more rain should command general respect.
With ‘Your Party’ holding its founding conference in Liverpool this weekend, JEREMY CORBYN speaks to Morning Star editor Ben Chacko about its potential, its priorities — and a few of its controversies too
Starmer’s decision to recognise Palestine only as long as Israel continues to massacre its inhabitants has been met with outrage, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
While Reform poses as a workers’ party, a credible left alternative rooted in working-class communities would expose their sham — and Corbyn’s stature will be crucial to its appeal, argues CHELLEY RYAN
From Gaza complicity to welfare cuts chaos, Starmer’s baggage accumulates, and voters will indeed find ‘somewhere else’ to go — to the Greens, nationalists, Lib Dems, Reform UK or a new, working-class left party, writes NICK WRIGHT
