Proportional Representation.The Sandy Martin Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform interview

Andy Burnham has got us all talking about Proportional Representation (PR) and so we should be if we want to stop Nigel Farage marching into Downing Street with his own “wide but shallow parliamentary majority”. Bryn Griffiths of the <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6OoOmRsNNbCsHy_vtJ-Dl4KuHLIoOpI1&si=8NRnnUbNISRosk0Z" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Labour Left Podcast</a> interviews Sandy Martin, the Chair of the Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform, to consider what we need to do to get PR done.The possibility of Farage entering No 10 with a predicted vote as low as 27% is truly terrifying! The poll projection below from Electoral Calculus shows, with a little help from a junior Tory coalition partner, that the prospect of a Reform Government is a terrifying but real prospect. The scary scenario above doesn’t even factor in Jacob Rees Mogg’s plan to unify the Right and make things a whole lot worse.In the podcast Bryn Griffiths and Sandy Martin, a former MP and Shadow Minister for Waste and Recycling under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, consider the historical context of today’s campaign.The podcast traces a path which stretches right back to the Chartists, a working class and social reform movement of the 19th Century. Looking at our modern history we discover the PR campaign is one of stops and false starts. We consider the 1980s campaign Charter 88; the 1997 Jenkins Commission; and, the forgotten Alternative Vote Referendum of 2011 under the Cameron Clegg austerity government. The Labour Left has not always embraced PR so Bryn shares his experience of joining the late Bob Cryer MP’s First Past the Post Campaign. Having explained Bob Cryer’s reasoning he invites Sandy to rescue PR from Labour’s centrists and put today’s case for reform. Bryn also sets out his case that if the facts change you review your strategy.Former Leader Neil Kinnock a recent convert to PR used to loathe the idea and Bryn cites his abusive riposte to the campaigners of an earlier generation. In the second-half Bryn and Sandy start off by agreeing that the Makerfield by-election and the possible election of Andy Burnham could be the big moment for PR. With that in mind Sandy tells us exactly what we need to do if we are going to get PR done, over turn Starmer and implement the historic 2022 Labour Conference policy shift. Find out what route map to PR will look like.Watch more Labour Left PodcastsIf you enjoy the Sandy Martin interview, take a look at the Labour Left Podcast back catalogue to hear guests such as anti-Fascist historian David Renton looking at today’s extreme right; Rachel Shabi explaining the truth about antisemitism; Jeremy Gilbert on Stuart Hall’s analysis of Thatcherism; Bernard Regan, of Palestine Solidarity, on Netanyahu’s genocide; Corinne Fowler talking about Britain’s history of slavery and colonialism; and Bell Ribeiro-Addy telling us about the fight against racism in Parliament.

How Do We Stop Farage and the Far Right? The David Renton interview

How Do We Stop Farage and the Far Right?The David Renton interviewAfter the massive Together March in London, on 28th March 2026, it is exactly the right moment for the <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6OoOmRsNNbCsHy_vtJ-Dl4KuHLIoOpI1&si=8NRnnUbNISRosk0Z" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Labour Left Podcast</a>, introduced here by Bryn Griffiths, to interview David Renton and take a deep dive into the far right.David Renton, our guest, is a barrister who specialises in trade union rights and free speech and he has appeared in the European Court of Human Rights. He is both a socialist and a historian who writes for publications such as The London Review of Books, Tribune, and Jacobin. His academic specialism has always made a big contribution - of around ten books - to our understanding of fascism, racism and the extreme right.David Renton has written a powerful trilogy of books. His book on Fascism is an excellent primer on what fascism is and just as importantly what it isn’t. Never Again is a history of Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League. Finally, The New Authoritarians brings us right up to date to help us grapple with the new forms the extreme right is taking today. In the podcast, David guides us through his three books to leave us with an excellent grounding in this subject. The one-hour long Labour Left Podcast asks: what is a fascist? How can we understand the different forms the right wing takes today? How can we build a modern anti-racist movement which will win? And finally, most notably, how do we stop Farage? We hope the podcast will prove invaluable to the political tasks that we must face up to in the next few years.As we consider how we might defeat Farage today, we look back into the 1970s to consider what Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League might add to our contemporary tool box. To help you enjoy the 1970s, we’ve created a Rock Against Racism playlist on Spotify to accompany this episode - just search for ‘Carnival Against the Nazis 1978’ or click <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1EUfZyeZfcggF46rQx5Zax?si=zzMJW6LsQR2-F79Z1eyS4g" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

The Fraud: The Paul Holden Interview

In the latest <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6OoOmRsNNbCsHy_vtJ-Dl4KuHLIoOpI1&si=8NRnnUbNISRosk0Z">Labour Left Podcast</a>, introduced here by Bryn Griffiths, Paul Holden the author of The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney, and the Crisis of British Democracy explains what the shadowy Labour Together group did to the Labour Party and how they inflicted their big fraud on the Labour membership.Ten PledgesIn 2020 Keir Starmer stood for the Labour Party leadership and made ten excellent democratic socialist pledges to the Party membership and the thousands of trades unionists who had enthusiastically voted for him. On 4th April 2020 Starmer was elected Labour Leader. But all was not as it seemed. Starmer had committed a fraud. In the podcast Paul Holden reveals exactly what Morgan McSweeney’s Labour Together had planned for the Labour membership and it certainly wasn’t the democratic socialism they’d voted for!Antisemitism allegationsEven before the book was published Steve Reed, Labour’s Housing Secretary, suggested in Politico that the book “would whitewash” the antisemitism crisis that happened under Jeremy Corbyn. In the podcast Paul Holden give’s his response to Reed’s horrible allegation.“This is the Machine that now rules us”In the second half of the podcast, Paul Holden explores the suggestion that Labour Together’s internal authoritarianism is spilling over into Government. Could Labour Together’s factionalism have created the conditions that explain the removal of Sue Gray, the Downing Street Chief of Staff? The appointment of Peter Mandelson as the US Ambassador? The proscription of Palestine Action? The attacks on refugee status? and, even the undermining of jury trials? Labour Together’s Response to The FraudEvery Labour supporter needs to know the story of what Labour Together did when they learnt Paul was to publish The Fraud. Paul tells us a chilling story of GCHQ involvement, spy allegations, Russian scare stories and ministerial resignations.How do we fightback?Here, as suggested in the podcast are the actions you can take and the links to find out more: Firstly, we need to restore democracy to our party so please join Sharon Graham and Andrea Egan, the Leaders of Britain’s biggest unions, in signing the Restore Labour Democracy Statement.To sign up to the Restore Labour Democracy statement click <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/forms/restore-labour-democracy-add-your-name-to-the-statement">here</a>Secondly, we have some important internal Labour elections this year. If we’re going to begin to change things we need people committed to democracy in key places, so please this year vote for the Centre Left Grass Roots Alliance (CLGA) in the National Executive, National Constitutional Committee, National Policy Forum and National Women’s Committee Elections.Here are the details of how to support the Centre Left Grass Roots Alliance internal elections campaign: <a href="https://www.clpd.org.uk/2026/01/28/nec-elections-2026/">click here for campaign details.</a>The CLGA <a href="https://www.clpd.org.uk/2026/01/28/nec-elections-2026/">candidates</a> for Labour’s National Executive Committee constituency section. This year the stakes are so high we need to work together with others in the party who want to see democracy. So, when you’ve voted for the CLGA candidates I urge you to use any remaining votes you’ve got to support Mainstream, the new soft left group.
