Andy Newman with the post :Can the forward march of Labour be restarted?has taken up the challenge posed to him by Alan Thornett .
This discussion goes back some time and is formatted by a few key experiences on the British far left -- the killing off of the English Socialist Alliance, the successes of the Scottish Socialist Party on the other side of the Pennines, and the establishment of Respect.`Essentially it is a debate about regrouping the left and what openings, options and vehicles that are--and are not --in motion to do that with.
Andy Newman is an activist in the Socialist Unity Network and Alan Thornett is a leading member of Socialist Resistance
