Jess Phillips’s brief but disastrous bid for the Labour Party leadership is a cautionary tale for substanceless centrists in politics: just because pundits and TV hosts love you doesn’t mean anybody else will.
Corbynism had a popular program — but not the popular insurgency it needed to fight for it.
Since becoming Labour leader two years ago, Keir Starmer has deliberately cratered the party’s finances by antagonizing its members and union allies. Now he’s asking business tycoons to plug the gap and lock in the party’s status as capital’s B team.

Paul Mason on the power of the Corbyn campaign and his experience canvassing for Labour.
After decades of brutal economic policies, we could soon have a socialist government in Britain. Electing Jeremy Corbyn won’t change everything, but it’ll be a step on the way to a humane society.

Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader in 2015 as a veteran anti-war activist, only to have to spend the next five years apologizing for his supposed “racist allies” and “terrorist links.” The sacking of Rebecca Long-Bailey shows how the space to criticize Israel has narrowed — but also how the Left has failed to defend its own right to call out injustice.
