With Keir Starmer reportedly set to quit as PM there is some interest in looking back, nearly 40 years, to what he believed as a young socialist activist. He has made a political journey from left to centre. That of course is a cliche except for the reality that there are left MPs elected in the 1980s who are still in Parliament who have not made that journey..
In the mid-1980s Keir Starmer was part of the Editorial Board of a socialist magazine, Socialist Alternatives. In a 1987 edition he interviewed Tony Benn and discussed with him various possibilities for how the left could relate to Labour.
Socialist Alternatives was part of a Pabloite or arguably post-Pabloite project (orthodox Trotskyism) looking to reconfigure red-green politics. It originally orientated around a left Labour grouping, the Socialist Society, but later (Starmer was probably not involved at this stage) in the Green Party
