Resisting this «with us or against us» mindset under Ed Miliband was what brought the
Labour Left in from the
wilderness, staking
out our opposition to austerity, to the legacy
of Iraq, and arguing for another way forward for the left.
It was precisely Benn type politics that kept
Labour out of office throughout the eighties and most
of the nineties and if they revert to that era politically they are destined for the
wilderness again.
