A year ago I was in touch with many of you on behalf of John McDonnell MP’s campaign for the Labour leadership, a campaign in which I was very proud to have played a key role.

We must learn the lessons

The trend in recent years has been for Labour to dip at local elections, but to bounce back at general elections. However this cycle is unsustainable: at each election that dip is getting deeper, and our recovery less. On the basis of last night, the best we could hope for is a hung parliament at the next election.

More endorsements for John McDonnell's grassroots campaign for the Labour leadership have been published.

The John4Leader campaign has sent out a message urging all supporters to join the Labour party in order to get a vote in the forthcoming leadership election.

Please pass on this message as far as possible.

Huge numbers have already joined or rejoined the party - but time is fast running out to join if you want to have a vote!
