Stephen Kinnock: How to build an inclusive and patriotic view of Britishness
I’ve been around politics for as long as I can remember, and I joined the Labour Party in 1985, when I was 15 years old. It’s fair to say that as a party we’ve been through some tough and bruising times, and I’ve had a ring-side...

Figures from across the Labour Party have described the defeat of Zac Goldsmith in the Brexit by-election as a vote against intolerance and “slurs” after the former Tory lost his seat to the Lib Dems.

Goldsmith was a disgrace – that’s why Labour had to stand in Richmond Park
We had no choice. Despite the slog of a campaign in cold, and latterly freezing, conditions, Labour had no option other than to fight the by-election in Richmond Park. It may not feel that way this morning, as the frost settles on a gruelling and unsuccessful campaign in which Christian Wolmar lost his deposit, but Labour could not have walked away from the Brexit by-election.
