John McDonnell Enters the Race for the Labour Leadership.
John McDonnell's Web Site
This week, Labour Members of Parliament are faced with a choice: either one of the former frontbench who've been committed to the New Labour experiment for the past 16 years or a return to traditional Labour values like community, co-operation and hard work.
Whilst the Labour government has undoubtedly been responsible for some triumphs such as the Minimum Wage and the rejuvination of the National Health Service, our time in office as been marred by what many of our core voters present and past feel to be a desertion of...

John McDonnell is the best hope for Labour supporters, for a fast return to an honourable, decent, democratic, egalitarian and inclusive Labour Party.
