Panel discussion: What must the left do to regain its sense of purpose and maximise its impact?
About this Event

Much has been written about the four-and-a-half years of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, but far less in-depth analysis has appeared on the tumultuous events since. Mike Phipps's new book, Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow: The Labour Party After Jeremy Corbyn, chronicles the main events in the Party since 2019: the election of Keir Starmer as leader, the loss of the left’s focus and its growing disillusionment with the new leadership. [Book available now from ]

Join Phipps for a talk on themes in his book, followed by a panel discussion on what the left needs to do to regain its sense of purpose and maximise its impact, with:

John McDonnell MP, former Shadow Chancellor 2015–19

Sonali Bhattacharyya, National Secretary, Momentum

Andrew Fisher, former Director of Policy of the Labour Party 2015–19

Hilary Wainwright, co-editor of Red Pepper, author of Labour: A Tale of Two Parties

Liz Davies QC (Chair), barrister, Labour NEC 1998–2001

The speakers will be followed by questions and discussion.

The event is sponsored by OR Books and Red Pepper magazine.

All welcome.
