Labour has been bold, unapologetic in its defence of the marginalised and unafraid to challenge vested interests. Across Europe, Farage and Robinson are united with others in an online world of untruths and hate. To take on Salvini, the PD activists know that a rupture with the politics of refusing-to-take-a-side is needed. For the PD, the Labour party under Corbyn offers enormous hope because it has decided to take a side. In doing this we will deprive Farage, Robinson, Salvini – and their friends Marine Le Pen in France and Viktor Orbán in Hungary – of the oxygen of inequality that feeds the flames of despair and hate.
