MOMENTUM members and Labour leaders in Manchester called today for the party to “dismantle” the old economy as part of a radical programme in the face of Brexit — and a looming change of government.

Speakers included Labour national executive committee members Lara McNeill and Navendu Mishra, Renewal journal editor Christine Berry and journalist Owen Jones.
