ACTIVISTS are planning a “state-of-the-art” and “radical” alternative to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool this autumn in a “new left-wing fightback” against Keir Starmer’s party.

The new conference “Beyond the Fringe — the Future of the Left” is set to be a three day series of events from September 26-28 running alongside the Labour Party conference, and is organised by mainly Merseyside socialists, some expelled from Labour.

A parallel left-wing conference alongside Labour, The World Transformed, has run for several years and will also be back in Liverpool this year.
