    Corbyn was fighting for "remain and reform" was he, well you could have fooled me. He had no enthusiasm for the fight. He may have spoken the words, but they lacked conviction.

    Re: Paul Mason - Brexit wins. An illusion dies. What now for the radical left in Labo

    Poor article written by a loser......and there lies the problem when he says.........'All we can do, as the left, is go on fighting for the interests of the poor, the workforce, the youth, refugees and migrants'.

    We continually heard the plight of the 'poor etc' throughout the last general election from Labour Party spokespersons especially Ed Balls.
    As a result.........they LOST !!!

    As a Labour Party it has to be inclusive........it has to include and represent all of the people throughout the country from the city banker to the crofter with a hand full of sheep in the Shetlands.
    It has to speak to everybody.

    Blairites understand this.....hence the 3 wins on the bounce.

    The "radical left" should never have being voting Remain in the first place.

    It's a Neo-Liberal organisation beloved by Neo-Liberals like Blair and Mandelson, hardly the "radical left".
