Labour Grassroots is a hub for Labour Party activists[1] which aims to change Labour from a top-down bureaucratic machine (incapable of winning elections without Murdoch’s support), to a vibrant, grassroots movement that will sweep the party to power.[2]
On Twitter Labour Left Grassroots describes itself as embracing Democratic Socialism, Anti Austerity, Green New Deal, Workers Rights, Human Rights, International Solidarity and Black Lives Matter.[3]
