Jon Cruddas, the party’s former policy chief, who has produced a report titled ‘Why Labour lost in 2015 and how it can win again’, has accused the party of ‘becoming dangerously out of touch with the electorate and unwilling to acknowledge this’.

• Grassroots group set up in the wake of Jeremy Corbyn’s election as Labour leader and a key player in the campaign for him to be re-elected
• Founded by the left-winger John Lansman in 2015, 4 weeks after Corbyn’s successful campaign to become leader of the Labour Party
