Clive Lewis has declared his candidacy for Labour leader, with a pledge to go further than Jeremy Corbyn in giving party members a say on policy and the selection of MPs.
The shadow Treasury minister said Labour had suffered “its own Dunkirk” but that it was possible to come back by bringing hope and reforming the party to give activists a real stake in a movement for change.
Lewis said Labour had failed to convince people in its heartlands that it had made a decisive break with the era of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, despite having changed policy and personnel. Aol.
I’m standing to be Labour leader so the truth can be heard
