My piece in LabourList on Brexit

Following the momentous rally in Parliament on Monday, hosted by Love Socialism, Hate Brexit, I have written in Labour List about how Labour is continuing to nuance its position against Brexit. Now we need it to positively campaign for Remain. Labour must be ready for the possibility of an autumn…

Love Socialism, Hate Brexit event in parliament

On Monday evening I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to a packed room of Labour Party members and supporters in Parliament, for the latest in our series of ‘Love Socialism, Hate Brexit’ rallies. Over the past months, Westminster has become an increasingly scary and depressing place to be, as…
