Abstract
The notion that the 1980s was a terrible decade for the Labour Party â and the British Left more broadly â is well established. It is seen as a decade of defeat and destruction â ideologically, politically and electorally. This talk reconsiders Labour’s fortunes and considers whether a longer historical view allows us to see a more positive history emerging.
Series This talk is part of the Wolfson College Humanities Society talks series.
