Peter Taaffe, the veteran leader of Militant – the hard-left group pushed out of Labour in the 1980s and now renamed the Socialist party – expects to be readmitted to Labour if Jeremy Corbyn wins September’s leadership election.
Taaffe, who was a founding editor of the Militant newspaper and has remained active throughout the movement’s existence, said he had sounded out Corbyn indirectly, including through Mark Serwotka, the leader of the PCS union, about the possibility of reversing Neil Kinnock’s ban on Militant.
He said he had met Corbyn on a number of occasions over the years, and believed the leader would continue to open up Labour “to all strands of socialist and working-class opinion” and reject control by a “top-down, centralised elite”. He added: “The lava of this revolution is still hot.”
