Darren Jones Refuses Starmer’s “Socialist” Label

It looks like a split is forming on the Labour front benches between the socialists and the rest. Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones at a Labour attack conference was just asked whether he was a socialist, like his leader:

“I would describe myself as Labour, I don’t really get into this business of sub-factional definitions – I’m a member, and a very proud member of the Labour Party I’m a proud trade unionist and I’m very happy to go to the country on that basis at this election.”
