Lord Mandelson tells the Labour party to go out and win.
Lord Mandelson today threw down the gauntlet to the Labour party to “have their eyes on the future,” be the change-makers and re-find their fighting spirit.
He said:
“We are the true progressives. We must be restless for change, impatient to do more for the hard-working people we serve. unafraid to embrace new reform, new policies and new thinking where it is needed.
“We need to think like insurgents, not incumbents. To challenge. To argue for change. To campaign. To be the real change-makers in British politics. This is our task.
“We need to fight back – of course we do. But to do so successfully it is up to us to expalin – with confidence, clarity and conviction – what the change is.”

To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Progressives really don’t attempt the part-privatisation of Royal Mail, do they?
