Left MPs put forward ‘serious alternative’ to pandemic response

by Bethany Rielly

LEFT-WING MPs have proposed a series of solutions to recover from the pandemic that provides a “serious alternative” to the current “Tory-created catastrophe.” 

The new pamphlet, drawn up by the Socialist Campaign Group, puts forward a wide range of radical changes needed to steer society away from the “impending economic, personal and social disaster” exacerbated by the Covid-19 crisis. 

Titled Winning the Future, the pamphlet includes articles by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott, John McDonnell and Rebecca Long Bailey among others from the left-wing group of Labour MPs.
