Excerpt - Jeremy Gilbert on New Labour's early days

The 2nd of May marked the 25th anniversary of New Labour's coming
to power and the election of Tony Blair as prime minister. I spoke
to Jeremy Gilbert about how he viewed the New Labour project at the
time and about how the Blairites succeeded in winning support
within the party, despite a distinct lack of enthusiasm for their
neoliberal policy agenda. We also talked about why Jeremy disagreed
with Stuart Hall's analysis that saw New Labour as a hybrid project
containing both neoliberal and social democratic threads. And
finally, Jeremy explained why, in spite of the defeat of the Corbyn
project he believes the broad left is in a much stronger position
than it was a decade ago.
