*A Guardian Book of the Day* The defeat of socialist firebrand
Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader in 2019 confirmed Tony Benn's famous
retort 'the Labour party has never been a socialist party, although
there have always been socialists in it.' For over a hundred years,
the British Labour Party has been a bastion for working class
organisation and struggle. However, has it ever truly been on the
side of the workers? Where do its interests really lie? And can we
rely on it to provide a barrier against right-wing forces? Simon
Hannah's smart and succinct history of the Labour left guides us
through the twists and turns of the party, from the Bevanite
movement and the celebrated government of Clement Attlee, through
the emergence of a New Left in the 1970s and the Blairism of the
1990s, to Corbyn's defeat and his replacement by Keir Starmer. This
new edition is updated throughout, with a new final chapter and
conclusion bringing the story up to date.
