TONIGHT Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German and former chair Andrew Murray launch their new pamphlet, No Return to Blair Wars.
A riposte to the Open Labour publication A Progressive Foreign Policy for New Times, which was launched by shadow foreign secretary Lisa Nandy in December, the pamphlet gives a lucid and concise outline of the case for anti-imperialism and counters many of the common attack lines deployed against the Stop the War Coalition and the peace movement.
It could hardly be more timely, with the Labour front bench egging the government on in a dangerous new cold war against China and backing provocations such as the dispatch of British warships to the China seas.
