Fighting over freebies, power and pay? This is not what Labour government is for – and members must say so | John McDonnell

There is a palpable relief that the Tories have been thrown out, but it’s hard to detect the sparkling optimism that would be expected after the election of a Labour government.

Part of this downbeat atmosphere is due to the toxic inheritance from the Tories after 14 years of austerity and the last few years of scorched-earth policies.

John McDonnell has been the MP for Hayes and Harlington since 1997 .

He was shadow chancellor from 2015 to 2020 , and shadow chancellor until 2020 .

McDonnell says Labour was founded to be the voice of working-class people, not the corporations.

McDonnell: Our aim is to transform this economic system, not simply manage the status quo.
