Indeed, it has often seemed as if Labour is mroe adept at fighting itself than defeating the Tory party.This book examines the history of Labour's civil wars and the underlying causes of the party's schisms from the first split of 1931, engineered by Ramsay MacDonald. to the ongoing battle for the future between the incumbent Labour leader, Keir Starmer, and those who fundamentally altered the party's course under his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.
