AS EVENTS over the past few weeks and days twist and turn, a general election in the very near future looks increasingly likely and the hope of getting Boris Johnson out by Christmas grows.
Jeremy Corbyn has been clear on the need to first ensure that Johnson can’t crash us out with no deal, and once that is secured, a general election must be fought and won.
The message of his leader’s speech at Labour Conference on Tuesday afternoon was clear — everyone who wants a Labour government with socialist values needs to be in election-ready mode now. That means campaigning and explaining to everyone we meet the very real and tangible difference a Labour government would make to their lives — to the lives of tens of millions of people — and winning them to vote Labour at the ballot box.
