The strange death of Labour Britain has a worrying precedent
The strange death of Labour Britain has a worrying precedent
Which is it? Are we witnessing the death of Labour, as Tony Blair warned this week? Or is it the party’s rebirth, as Jeremy Corbyn’s followers hope? The truth, as ever, will lie somewhere in between.

That was back in 2006, when the farm-gate price of milk boomed from 18p a litre to 26p in 2008, and then to 32p by 2013, while feed prices fell and profits soared. When times are good, lobbies stay silent. ...
