The Left After Leave
Brexit offered the Left bad choices, and its aftermath has emboldened a racist right. What do we do now?
Neither Washington Nor Brussels

Making Corbynism a Reality
Jeremy Corbyn’s call for a break with neoliberalism has given hope to millions. But implementing his agenda will require more than good policies — Labour needs a mobilizing strategy to defeat resistance within the state machine and the City of London.
Love Remain, Hate Jeremy Corbyn
Britain’s liberal establishment have long damned Jeremy Corbyn for failing to fight hard enough against Brexit. Their hatred for the Labour leader knows no bounds — and they’ll block him becoming prime minister even if it makes Britain crashing out of Europe inevitable.
They’ll Come for Us Next
Google’s censure of right-wing outlets over repulsive racist content was pushed by the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate, an outfit with strong ties to the Labour right.

We Can’t Let Labour Return to the Pre-Corbyn Wilderness
As votes are counted in the Labour leadership election, the party faces a dangerous period: Keir Starmer, the favorite to win, is likely to try to drag the party back to the dark ages of top-down politics and centrist equivocating.
Under Keir Starmer’s Leadership, Labour Is on the Road to Nowhere
The by-election defeat for Labour in Hartlepool is a damning indictment of Keir Starmer, who has failed to deliver the “electability” his supporters promised. But his leadership is bound to double down on Labour’s right turn instead of drawing the correct lessons.

Labour is Changing the Way Politics Works
Political parties these days are rarely in touch with ordinary voters except at election time. With its new community organizing program, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party is starting to change that.
The Labour Antisemitism Report Has Always Been a Politically Motivated Travesty
When Britain’s Equality and Human Rights Commission announced it was investigating Labour’s treatment of its Jewish members, many of Jeremy Corbyn’s opponents claimed this as proof of his supposed antisemitism. But the inquiry is itself a political weapon — and as the Commission publishes its much-hyped, long-delayed report today, the attacks against the Left are only intensifying.
Liberals Must Resist the New McCarthyism Over Israel Criticism
The hysteria over Palestine protests on campus that is being ginned up to protect US support for Israel’s war is the beginning of a new Red Scare. Liberals must resist it, because it will come for them, too.
Jeremy Corbyn: “The Rule of the Few Over the Many Rests on Shaky Ground”
