John McDonnell reckons - and I think, quite rightly - that the Labour coup gathering pace now has got Wes Streeting's grubby paws all over it. What is interesting is how he straightaway brings up Streeting's Mandelson connections. I expect - and indeed hope - to hear much more about those from Streeting's opponents in the very near future. Never forget.

Quick, tangible change will see off the hard right – these are the things Labour must do now

Quick, tangible change will see off the hard right – these are the things Labour must do now | John McDonnell

Nigel Farage is poised to pounce, but a wave of progressive policy delivery is well within the new government’s reach, says former shadow ch

“Fourteen years of austerity, economic incompetence and corruption under the Conservatives created the disillusionment and alienation from politics that Farage has been able to feed off. With a change of government, his focus now will be on damaging Labour.

“People will be relatively patient, but will want to see some early initial progress on a number of fronts – and significant results by at least the midterm of this government ... To guard against a rise of the hard right here, the left has to secure a wave of progressive policy delivery, and to start soon ...

“With 14 million people, including 4.3 million children, now living in poverty, an early win in the implementation of the anti-poverty strategy Labour committed to in its manifesto would be secured by the scrapping of the brutal two-child benefit cap, lifting 300,000 children out of poverty ...

“The wages of many workers have been effectively frozen since 2008 and there has been a widespread extension of insecure and often precarious work across the economy. Labour’s commitment to introduce its new deal for workers in its first 100 days could transform the lives of people at work, and address the scourge of low pay and insecure employment, but to be effective it has to be comprehensive with no further watering down ...

“People know how much pressure our public services have been put under by Conservative austerity, but will want to see change. They will support reform that puts control into the hands of the frontline professionals, but will react to reform that privatises and enables companies to profiteer, fuelling Farage’s claim of the corporate capture of the Labour party.

“Realistically, large-scale investment is needed ... We are at a defining moment not just for the new Labour government but for the politics of our country. Beware the danger but recognise the potential.”
