Your Party is offering a gift to the hard right | Letters

Paul Cavaciuti, Lorraine Du Feu and Paul Walmsley on bickering and the politics of the fledgling new leftwing party

In the words of Alexei Sayle, “You can always rely on the left to turn up to a knife fight armed with a composite motion” (A historic opportunity for the British left is being thrown away. This very public Your Party row must stop now, 21 September).

The far right is in the ascendancy, the government is selling England by the pound, inequality is growing by the day while our public services are in crisis, and Your Party are arguing about process before they have announced a single policy. They launched the group in July, but can’t even come up with a name. This is not what the country needs. Nor does it bode well for the kind of campaign Your Party would run, or for how they would govern if elected.
