In From the Cold

Every week, I’m covering Labour’s journey from its shocking 1992 election defeat to it’s landslide victory five years later.

As Labour enters its 12th year in opposition, I want to find out how it dragged itself out of the political tundra last time. I will not let this become another newsletter bemoaning the quagmire of post-Brexit politics, urging Labour to tie itself to the central mast and stick wax in its ears to drown out the calls of the left. Instead, I want to peel back the layers of the 1997 campaign and the events that shaped it, get lost in the history, and get sidetracked by the political intrigue of the 1990s, just for the sake of it.
