Has the Labour Party turned its back on the left?
Following the disastrous election loss to Boris Johnson in 2019, the party emerged from the ashes promising to shed the image of one man - Jeremy Corbyn.
His successor Sir Keir Starmer has instead defined his leadership directly in opposition to Corbyn, leaning towards the centrist ideals of another former leader, Tony Blair.
So what remains of the Labour party that once promised radical reforms to Britain’s economy, welfare and foreign policy?
This week on the Big Picture podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Corbyn, who resigned in 2020 as Labour leader, was suspended from the parliamentary party later that year and earlier this year banned from running again as a candidate.
He says the party now resembles the undemocratic and dictatorial environment he first encountered in the 1960s.
