No unity with the right! Time to organise for a real fight-back! Plan ahead and start organising shadow CLP structures! As if it wasn’t bad enough that Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner both spent the ‘International Day of Solidarity with Palestinians’ addressing a meeting of the Zionist Jewish Labour Movement, Starmer used the opportunity to […]

Watch: Reinstate Jeremy Corbyn! Stop the witch-hunt!
Jackie Walker, Marc Wadsworth, Tony Greenstein and Chris Williamson discussed how the left should fight against the ongoing witch-hunt, the EHRC report into the Labour Party – and the terrible response by much of the Labour Left, which continues to call for ‘unity’ with the right.
LAW statement: Reinstate Jeremy Corbyn!
Silence on the witch-hunt should never have been an option! Appeasement does not work! Jeremy Corbyn was absolutely right in the comments that got him suspended: “One antisemite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents”. It is a real shame that he […]
Open letter to Jermain Jackman’s “Socialists of Colour”
We feature below an important open letter from the Labour Left Alliance. One of the candidates in the current NEC elections supported by the LLA, Carol Taylor-Spedding, has outrageously been accused of holding “openly antisemitic view” – simply for stating in a questionnaire that she feels “inspired” by Jackie Walker and that she opposes her […]
Free speech on Palestine!
Emergency motion to Labour Left Alliance conference submitted by Labour Against the Witchhunt Conference notes: 1) The circular emailed on August 12 2020 to Constituency Labour Parties by General Secretary David Evans, states that certain subjects are “not competent business for discussion by local parties” – including the so-called definition of antisemitism published by the […]

Introduction The report ‘The work of the Labour Party’s Governance and Legal Unit in relation to antisemitism, 2014 – 2019’ (the Report), gives us irrefutable proof of the plotting and outright sabotage committed against Corbyn, and the hundreds of thousands who joined the party following his […]
David Rosenberg on his friend Hazuan Hashim, one of the Wavertree 4
Hazuan Hashim is one of four officers of Liverpool Wavertree Constituency suspended from the Labour Party very recently. He was the BAME officer for the constituency. Other officers suspended include the Chair, Secretary and Women’s Officer. I don’t know them personally but I do know Haz. Back in 2011 I was part of the committee […]
Reinstate the Liverpool Wavertree 4!
Defend free speech in the Labour movement! The Labour left will not be silenced on party democracy and Israel/Palestine! Sign here: https://www.change.org/p/labour-party-reinstate-the-wavertree-4 We believe that the May 29 suspensions of four Constituency Labour Party officers from Liverpool Wavertree CLP (including the chair and secretary) under antisemitism charges are deeply unjust.

The leaked report: witness statements, analysis, reports, CLP statements and more
As experienced activists in the Labour Party, we knew that the right in the party was plotting against Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters from day one. We knew, because we were the victims of their wrongful suspensions, their expulsions and their public smears and lies, all based on the flimsiest of evidence. The report now […]
Being and Somethingness – poem for Robert Peston, by Kevin Higgins
for Robert Peston You might liken me to a urinary tract infection, in that my job is to prevent truth trickling out too purely, but you’re worried such a comparison might lead to threatening letters from solicitors acting for the bacilli who’ve taken up residence in Mrs Irondrawer’s highly thought of bladder. Reality […]

SIGN: Solidarity with Diane Abbott and Bell Ribeiro-Addy – and all those unjustly expelled!
Sign the petition here! The defeat of Jeremy Corbyn has given the right inside and outside the Labour Party a mandate to press ahead with their campaign against the left. They will not rest until the Labour Party has been purged of all traces of socialism. The latest manufactured ‘outrage’ of the Board of Deputies […]
