Darren Jones Refuses Starmer’s “Socialist” Label
It looks like a split is forming on the Labour front benches between the socialists and the rest. Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones at a Labour attack conference was just asked whether he was a socialist, like his leader:
“I would describe myself as Labour, I don’t really get into this business of sub-factional definitions – I’m a member, and a very proud member of the Labour Party I’m a proud trade unionist and I’m very happy to go to the country on that basis at this election.”
So far it’s committed socialists Starmer and Reynolds vs revisionists Reeves and Jones. How will the ideological war play out?
