AN unavoidable consequence of Keir Starmer’s evisceration of the left in the Labour Party, with an authoritarian brutality unprecedented in the party’s history, is the resurrection of ideas of forming a new party of socialists.
That is a well-trodden road. The novelty today lies not only in the undemocratic atrocities of the Starmer regime — the vetoes, proscriptions, purging and blocking — but the background of the great groundswell of support for radical policies of the Corbyn years. That is a movement now looking for a home.
Does this make a new socialist party viable? There is a heavy legacy of failure to overcome.
