THIS weekend Labour will announce its new leader to take over from my decades-long friend and comrade Jeremy Corbyn.
We should use this moment not only to express our gratitude to Corbyn for the amazing effort and campaigning work he has put in as leader — and indeed has done on so many important issues for 46 years with Labour and will no doubt continue to do so — but also to assess what kind of party we must be and what principles and policies we must stand for going forward.
In key areas our party and policies have been transformed under Corbyn’s leadership. Not only have these restored our socialist principles, these changes are also essential to maintain and strengthen in terms of forging a path back to power.
