This 40-year old edition of Panorama has dome the rounds on social media these last couple of days. Filmed during an abatement of the faction fighting in the early 1980s and before the purge of the Militant Tendency got properly underway, it's good for a potted history of Labourism and how it has always been a fusion of opposites. Starmerism, like Blairism, is not a break from these traditions but is rooted in and a culmination of strands that go back to the beginnings of Labourism as a political current and school of thought.
