Today, former Member of Parliament from Northern Derby, Chris Williamson joins us. As an active member of the Labour Party since 1975, we talk about Britain’s entry into the European Common Market, the 1975 referendum.

We got through a history of the “dark ages” with Margaret Thatcher at the helm of the United Kingdom. We also talk about the transformation of Labour into a Blairite party in the 1990s and finally Chris talks about his plan to ensure a strong left in Britain and the world.

I will keep you updated on the conference that Chris is organizing.
