It’s time for Labour to back a people’s vote. The stakes have never been higher
Despite the daily updates, the major distinction of Theresa May’s Brexit negotiations is that there has been precisely no change since December 2017. The agreement made then to go to transition and to accept the Irish border backstop was the last real progress, and even that has been largely clawed back by May in the nine months since. Caught between the EU’s unwillingness to compromise the single market and the DUP’s refusal to accept a border in the Irish Sea, […]

And all this – in the centenary year […]

Joe Anderson: If we stay united, Labour can govern for a generation
As I look out of my office window onto the iconic Liverpool waterfront, all is calm and bright. In five days’ time, as we gather few hundred yards down the dockside for the Labour Party conference, I hope things remain just as pleasant. Speculation about the party’s future continues to spill forth from Westminster and television studios, with accusation and counter-accusation about the state of the party. The political has become personal. Bone grinds against bone. Bad faith abounds. Having […]

French radical Jean-Luc Mélenchon should be welcomed by Labour activists
Next week’s The World Transformed conference will play host to France’s most popular political leader, France Insoumise’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Winning seven million votes in last year’s presidential election, the radical left-winger is today at the forefront of the revolt against Emmanuel Macron’s crisis-wracked government. Mélenchon’s major breakthrough came in the 2017 contest, when he was under two points shy of beating Marine Le Pen into the second round. Even as the Socialist and Communist parties have waned, France Insoumise has […]
