Long-Bailey: we must become ‘salespeople for socialism’
Labour leadership candidates set out priorities at first hustings event of campaign
Labour activists must become “salespeople for socialism”, Rebecca Long-Bailey has said as the party’s leadership candidates clashed in their first hustings event of the campaign.
Long-Bailey, a frontrunner who is backed by allies of Jeremy Corbyn, said she was kept awake at night by the problems of inequality and the climate crisis but also the question of how to present socialism as mainstream.
