A LABOUR MP has said that there is no going back to a “failed status quo” after numerous former Blairite politicians demanded a “fundamental change” in Labour’s direction.
In a letter published in The Observer, seven former MPs and four former parliamentary candidates said that they are “devastated” for their constituents who are “still struggling under a Tory government.”
They said: “It is our duty to speak up now, so that our leadership candidates keep these people at the heart of their campaigns to lead our party.”

From Gaza complicity to welfare cuts chaos, Starmer’s baggage accumulates, and voters will indeed find ‘somewhere else’ to go — to the Greens, nationalists, Lib Dems, Reform UK or a new, working-class left party, writes NICK WRIGHT

With Reform UK surging and Labour determined not to offer anything different from the status quo, a clear opportunity opens for the left, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
