The Labour Party after Jeremy Corbyn is charting a new direction. Here, Nathan Yeowell has brought together a remarkable array of contributors to provide expert insight into twentieth-century British history and Labour politics – and how they might shape thinking about Labour’s future.

Reframing the span of Labour history and its effects on contemporary British politics, the book provides fresh thinking and analysis of various traditions, themes and individuals. These include the shifting significance of 1945, the need for more grounded interpretations of Tony Blair’s legacy, and the enduring importance of place, identity and aspiration to the evolution of the party. Contributions from leading historians such as Patrick Diamond, Steven Fielding, Ben Jackson, Glen O’ Hara and Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite are supplemented by those with experience of Labour electoral politics, such as Rachel Reeves and Nick Thomas-Symonds.

The result is an intellectually rich and politically relevant roadmap for Labour's future.

Nathan Yeowell is Executive Director of Progressive Britain - the platform for policymaking, political education and imaginative thinking to rebuild Labour and the Nation. Prior to this, he was Head of Policy and External Affairs at the social sector think-tank New Philanthropy Capital and Head of the Labour Group Office at the Local Government Association.
