Top Blairite: Why I'm Not Blairite Anymore
About this episode
John McTernan discusses his shift from being a Blairite to advocating for a more left-wing Labour party.
John McTernan is one of the most fascinating voices on the British left. He worked at the centre of 10 Downing Street as Tony Blair's Political Secretary. But now he's in a slightly different space. His perspective has shifted and he sees new Labour as the end of a different era. Now he believes Labour has to be more left wing. So what's changed? And how many more agree with him?
