Opinion: Labour MPs Now Accept Brexit Because Jeremy Corbyn is No Longer Their Leader
On Sunday Labour’s Rachel Reeves went on the Andrew Marr Show and argued we need to get Brexit done. The sad truth is that many Labour MPs have changed their tune on Brexit for one simple reason: they’re no longer looking to attack the party leader, argues Aaron Bastani.
Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn
After 2017 Labour stood on the brink of power. Yet by last December the party gained its lowest number of seats since 1935. How did that happen? Find out as Aaron Bastani is joined by authors of 'Left Out', Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire
Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn
After the 2017 general election Labour under Jeremy Corbyn seemingly stood on the brink of power.

Opinion: Boris Johnson’s Plan to Ditch the Withdrawal Agreement Shows His Mandate is Built on Lies
Boris Johnson won the 2019 election having secured, in his words, an ‘excellent’ withdrawal agreement for the UK. If he now undermines this agreement - potentially in favour of a no deal Brexit - his mandate will be built on lies, argues Aaron Bastani.
Bust-Up or Bluster?
Boris Johnson won last year’s general election promising to implement his oven ready deal. However, less than 12 months later he’s planning to break The Withdrawal Agreement. Are the government really willing to unilaterally break a legally binding international treaty? Or is this just typical bluster from the Prime Minister? Plus, Extinction Rebellion take on […]
