Thus in such a Labour Party there can be no question of independent policy.
The trouble with the Labour Party leadership and the trade union leadership, they’re quite willing to applaud millions on the streets of the Philippines or in Eastern Europe, without understanding the need to also produce millions of people on the streets of Britain.
Will there be a political backlash against British Prime Minister Theresa May, whose ruling Conservative Party is traditionally seen as ‘stronger’ on terrorism than its main rival, the Labour Party?
I don’t like either the Labour Party or the Conservatives, but I did really like Tony Benn.

In a way I’m almost more rueful about the notion of having a non-ideological Labour party than I am about the personality of Tony Blair.

I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.
The instinct of the Labour Party is if there’s a problem, change the leader, then sit back, fold your arms and wait to be disappointed because they’re sure it’s not going to deliver.
I can’t pretend to being particularly happy about Jeremy Corbyn being leader of the Labour party.
I would reject wholeheartedly any notion of a Labour Party that is not committed to returning to power at the first opportunity. Of course that needs to be principled power. But standing on the sidelines looking for the purest ideology is a dereliction of the duty for any Labour member.
There is no future for the Labour party in Corbynism without Corbyn.
