39b: The Fall and Rise of the British Left [Correct Audio]

ABC With Danny and Jim

THIS IS THE CORRECT AUDIO, PLEASE IGNORE EARLIER VERSION OF EPISODE 39

In this episode we discuss The Fall and Rise of the British Left (Verso, 2019) by Andrew Murray.

We originally intended this episode to coincide with the UK General Election in July 2024, seeing this as a good moment to reflect on the electoral turn of the left in Britain in the 2010s. While this scheduling didn't quite work out, we still felt this work, written by an advisor to Jeremy Corbyn at the peak of expectations for a left-wing Labour victory, would make for an interesting and (somewhat) timely discussion.
