Labour’s election manifesto has been launched, and it presents a breathtaking vision of radical yet pragmatic change for the UK. Now we have to get that vision through to voters and drown out the din of a hostile media.
Labour’s manifesto shows that the party understands the urgency of the burning injustices that are stunting the lives of millions in Britain today — and is prepared to take action to end them.

For three decades, the “extreme center” has silenced all alternatives to neoliberalism, presenting itself as above challenge. But as Tariq Ali insists, there is an alternative — and Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour is offering it.
The polls are all over the place, but Bernie Sanders has a trick up his sleeve: no other candidate in the Democratic primary boasts such a deeply devoted support base. Come the general election, that deep enthusiasm for Sanders will be crucial for beating Donald Trump.
“Medicare for All isn’t politically viable” is the refrain from the pundits. But how many non-pundits have they actually talked to about Medicare for All? Democratic Socialists of America activists have been going door-to-door talking to thousands — here’s what they’ve been hearing.
