We begin another months-in-the-making three-parter with the story of Labour. In part one (up to 1939): why it was a fractious coalition from day one, how it overtook the Liberals to become a party of government, and why Ramsay MacDonald went from hero to treacherous villain. Contains foreshadowing

It's out: The epic of the Labour party, from Keir Hardie to Keir Starmer. An endless tragicomic cycle in which right and left try to murder each other, succeed, fall apart, are murdered in turn, and then begin anew.
