Blair years minister Peter Hain tells Labour to return to socialism

The senior MP and close ally of leader Ed Miliband described “neoliberal orthodoxy” as the root of Britain’s economic problems on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show yesterday.
And he will argue people are “crying out” for an alternative to austerity as he launches his book Back to the Future of Socialism in Parliament this evening.
