LABOUR MP Rebecca Long Bailey has called to overturn Britain’s “broken political system” and to fight for a socialist Britain, as she signals her intention to stand for Labour leader.

The shadow business secretary set out her stall in the race to replace Jeremy Corbyn, who said he will resign following the December 12 general election defeat.

Writing in the Guardian, the Salford and Eccles MP said that Labour’s defeat was related to the party’s “compromise solution” on Brexit, which satisfied “too few.”
