The first thing that is required is a simple list made up from the torrent of destruction that the Tories have visited upon the weak, the poor and the elderly and keep pushing the mantra, “does this make sense, is it fair?. The second thing is to explain just why it makes sense to take public utilities, the Post Office and Rail into public ownership.

There is so much about the Labour 2017 manifesto policies that is good. We must not lose the opportunity to implement them by winning the next general election against a moribund government party.

We need not destroy private sector financial services, and would damage the UK economy irrevocably if we did so. Rather, introduce additional, complementary, state finance e.g. the National Investment Bank.

The other obstacle to our appeal is pursuit of immature student policies in the area of foreign policy. Concentrate on what is needed to reform the British economy, and help society – ordinary British people.
