Following a fratricidal period for the left with Morales and Arce at loggerheads, right-wing, anti-MAS candidates obtained over 85 per cent of the votes cast in the latest general election, writes FRANCISCO DOMINGUEZ

THE right-wing media are having orgasms over the anti-democratic decision of Sir Keir Starmer and the NEC to prevent the members of Islington North from reselecting Jeremy Corbyn as their candidate for the fourth decade running.
According to Starmer’s motion voted on by the NEC, Corbyn puts a Labour victory in jeopardy because he single-handedly lost the 2019 general election.
The bulldozing of the “red wall” by Boris Johnson with his winning “Get Brexit done” slogan has absolutely nothing to do with the slippery, empty vessel that is the current Labour leader.

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
