Commenting on the Labour leadership result, a Momentum spokesperson said:
We congratulate Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner on their election as Leader and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. We look forward to working with them to elect a Labour Government that will carry out the kind of bold, transformational policies our country and planet so badly need.
We also want to thank Rebecca Long-Bailey for running a principled, left wing campaign full of big ideas, building on the programme she has worked on for the last four years.
In four and a half years, Jeremy Corbyn and the movement around him has changed our party and country for the better, giving a voice to the hopes of millions who felt unrepresented in politics.
Austerity as a political project has been defeated and the dark days when Labour cheered on privatisation, pursued illegal wars and demonised migrants are long gone. Our membership has tripled in size, we have doubled the number of socialist MPs and our party brims with ideas and vision for a socialist future.
Keir has pledged support for most of the programme, including the public ownership of rail, mail, energy and water, a Green New Deal, kicking the privatisers out of the NHS, scrapping tuition fees, closing down detention centres and taxing the top 5%.
His mandate is to build on Jeremy’s transformative vision, and this means appointing a broad shadow cabinet who believe in the policies and will work with members to make them a reality.
In this new era Momentum will play a new role. We’ll hold Keir to account and make sure he keeps his promises, champion big ideas like the Green New Deal, build the power of Labour members and do everything we can to get a Labour government elected.
Socialist MPs and COUNCILLORS NEED TO BECOME INDEPENDENTS QUICKLY and could they become socialist party members after being Independents?
The way for socialist councillors and MPs to survive being purged out of Labour party membership and so losing their posts, is by quickly becoming Independents, and jump before they are pushed. They can still sit in their councillor and MPs jobs then, and in safety can then start a new socialist party or join a current one and join them. Still sitting in the councillor / MP job. In Safety as no general election til 2024.
Jeremy Corbyn could then form his own party now, today. And stay sitting at an MP in parliament, alongside his fellow socialist Labour MPs in his new party.
We would follow him in membership in droves.
Jeremy Corbyn needs to protect his fellow socialist Labour MPs, who will be purged out of Labour party membership, and so forever lost to parliament.
