Brighton 30 September 2015<\/strong>. Professor Dave Wonk of the think tank \u201cNew Thought\u201d has resigned as the Blog\u2019s political correspondent, which is frankly a bit of a cheek \u2013 we forgot to sack him.<\/p>\n

His place has been taken by Len Spanner, policy director of the People\u2019s Anti-Capitalist Collective for Action (Marxist-Leninist) or PACAC for short, who has sent \u00a0a long \u00a0communique from Brighton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sun shone in Brighton\u00a0today\u00a0as the party faithful joyfully mobbed their new leader, elected by the largest democratic majority in the history of the Movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now time for the masses to rise up and strike against the capitalist bankers and the global oligarchs who have bled this country white. Let us free ourselves from the tyranny of nuclear weapons and support the steelworkers of Redcar. Down with rents! Down with business! Down with Cameron!. Print some more money! Workers unite!\u201d<\/p>\n

We have cut the rest. But in order to help readers understand what is going on, we have updated Professor Wonk\u2019s original slide on the evolution of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n
