'A Century of Labour' explores that history from its dizzying beginnings in 1924 through to, almost, the present day. In that time it has held power for only 33 years and until this year only three of its leaders managed to win a majority in a general election. Why has Labour underperformed? Why has the party so often struggled to win and hold on to power? And how does delving into its history help understand how its future might unfold?
