The Labour Party has never been a socialist party, but it has always had socialists in it, and for the first time they are in the driver’s seat.

This has been crystallized by the party’s 2017 manifesto. Entitled “For the Many, Not the Few” it represents the peak accomplishment of Corbynism to date and offers the British people a first opportunity in a generation to vote for policies that would signify a fundamental shift to the left.

Though moderate in language, the manifesto’s proposals are radical; building on the promise of Jeremy Corbyn’s two leadership campaigns with a vision that would end the era of austerity and shape a new economic terrain, one that shifts wealth and power from capital to workers.
