The Brink

Scuttling around in taxis


Listen Later

In the final episode of The Brink – the podcast that travels back to 1980s Liverpool to look at the rise and fall of Militant – we see the nadir of the political group.

The Liverpool Echo's Julia Rampen speaks to key figures from the time, including former Labour leader Neil Kinnock, Militant's Derek Hatton, and more.

She explores the famous Neil Kinnock speech, aimed at Militant, their expulsion from the Labour party, and whether the 30,000 redundancy notices were actually "scuttled around" in taxis.

Presented and produced by Julia Rampen
