Simon Fletcher argues (in light of the local election results):
The Labour Party's 'current course is creating the conditions for the Faragists to thrive & drag politics even further rightwards. Opposition to Labour’s approach from the left is a necessary reaction to the hard right’s exploitation of Labour’s mistakes'!
They need to deliver the 'change' voters want not the 'change' their backers demand!
This is likely to be a common call this weekend!
