Synopsis

For the first eighteen months of Jeremy Corbyn s leadership, Labour MPs were in open revolt. Labour seemed to be returning to the early 1980s, when old-school Marxists tried to seize control of the party, at an appalling electoral cost.

So when Theresa May called a snap election, it seemed that time was finally up for Labour voters would consign it to the history books. Yet on 8 June 2017, it was the Conservatives who were left with egg on their faces.

But how long can the uneasy peace between moderate, anti-Corbyn MPs and the leader's loyal grassroots activists last? Does Corbyn's victory give cause for celebration? Or is the Labour Party, as generations of voters have known it, finally coming to an end?

From Gordon Brown s momentous decision not to call an election in 2007 and Ed Miliband s crushing defeat in 2015 to the continued rise of Corbynmania, ex-Labour MP Tom Harris examines the seismic events in Labour s recent history and the decisions that have shaped its fortunes.
