Generally Speaking

Someone or other has been made the General Secretary of the Labour Party. How thrilling. 

Influencing the Conservatives is what matters now. And if you can get access to the top, then that is easier than you might think. There are none of Labour's committees to go through, and the Budget of March 2020 has already ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. 

Nor, unlike Labour, do the Conservatives mind if you would never dream of joining their party, or even of voting for it. Although I am not necessarily in that position. Like a lot of people, I am waiting to see whether, by 2024, Richard Holden's transport improvements had made any progress in the face of Labour's bitter carping.

Beyond that, bankrupt the Labour Right by wiping it off the municipal map next year, and use the list systems for the London, Scottish and Welsh Elections to fill 14 seats with people who would fight for economic equality and for international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends within a united and independent Britain. 

But at least for many years yet, don't waste your time on the Labour Party. Just don't.
