At an LSE event on 4 October, Andy Beckett, Matthew Goodwin and Faiza Shaheen discussed the future of the Labour party. Can it unite after Jeremy Corbyn’s re-election as leader, or is it doomed to split? Beckett, counselling patience, says the generation gap within Labour needs to close and Momentum activists must stand as MPs; Goodwin warns Labour that Corbyn’s unpopularity and the declining appeal of social democracy to voters puts the party in a very weak position. Shaheen argues Labour needs to change the debate on welfare and urges it not to embrace anti-immigration policies. Robin Archer chairs.
