Introducing..Eight years' hard Labour

This is the inside story of the election of Jeremy Corbyn, the most unlikely and radical Labour leader in post-war history. It’s also about the takeover of the party by the far-left and how that led to Britain leaving the EU, internal battles, increasing bitterness and two Labour defeats. All of this was followed by the election of a new leader, Keir Starmer, who set out erasing all traces of Jeremy Corbyn.

It’s the story of a double revolution in just eight years that helped shaped Britain’s present and may well go on to shape its future.
