Description

Andy Beckett discusses his new book about 5 key figures of the British Labour left: Tony Benn, Diane Abbot, Jeremy Corbyn, Ken Livingstone and John McDonnell. The Searchers: Five Rebels, Their Dream of a Different Britain, and Their Many Enemies was published earlier this year by Allen Lane. Andy and Jem go deep into some of the book’s key themes, including the strange place of London in the British left’s political imaginary, the decades-long political contest over what a post-industrial Britain could look like, and the long legacy of 1968.
