Labour's eurosceptics
"From the 1940s until the late 1980s, the majority view within the Labour Party was against joining (and, then, in favour of leaving) the European Economic Communities", later known as the European Union. Yet by the 2016 Brexit referendum, among Labour members, supporters and most MPs, Euroscepticism had become a byword for imperial nostalgia and racism. We spoke to Richard Johnson, Senior Lecturer in the Politics and International Relations School at Queen Mary, University of London to find out how this change happened, the history of resistances to Europe on the left, and the consequences for Keir Starmer today. PLUS we hear the left-wing case for the UK monarchy!
