In the second instalment in this miniseries, Compass Director Neal Lawson sits down to chat to long-time Compass intellectual contributors – and hosts of their own podcast Culture, Power and Politics – Professor Jeremy Gilbert and Professor Alan Finlayson.

The three discuss the history of factions within the Labour Party, from its inception through the New Labour era and now to the Starmer-McSweeney hyperfaction, and the consequences that has both for the party and for democracy in Britain today.
