• ON June 8 Labour voters voted for Jeremy Corbyn’s manifesto, for a future of free education and a welfare state where what is essential, homes, health, social care, transport, mental wellbeing and old age care, is available to all.

Young people have spoken and the middle-aged young of the 1990s have woken up with a hangover. It seemed too good to be true, Blair’s Cool Britannia, of free markets, cocaine socialism, capitalism and unlimited equity and choice. Now we’re all saddled with the debt of crashed markets and gross inequalities.

Blairites and cynics please join us. Labour is not a broad church that includes estate regeneration, privatisation of NHS, land grabs and austerity. A divided party and 1990s-style politics will send us further into a social Darwinist future. Instead we could all embrace Jeremy’s party.
