Labour leadership hopeful Rebecca Long Baile

LABOUR leadership hopeful Rebecca Long Bailey mapped out her “path to power” today, promising to “deliver the dreams, hopes and expectations” of working-class people.

In a speech at Salford’s Lowry Theatre, Ms Long Bailey spoke of her plans to transform Labour into a social force capable of changing the country.

She called on socialists to improve their political messaging in the 21st century, and “empower” the trade-union movement in heartland seats that the party lost to the Tories last December.
