IAN LAVERY has called for Sir Keir Starmer to “step aside” for Labour’s first female leader, as he urges party members to continue fighting for “socialist revolution.”
Speaking in London at a rally for left-wing Labour leadership candidate Rebecca Long Bailey last night, the Labour chairman said that the shadow Brexit secretary should quit the ongoing contest.
Mr Lavery, who is backing Ms Long Bailey, said that under her leadership Labour would “have a leader who can take the fight to the Tories not in 2024 but in 2020.

While Reform poses as a workers’ party, a credible left alternative rooted in working-class communities would expose their sham — and Corbyn’s stature will be crucial to its appeal, argues CHELLEY RYAN
