Blue Labour is splitting the party

Blue Labour is splitting the party

Labour is splitting.


Earlier this week we reported that the government is now THIRD in the opinion polls behind Reform and the Tories.


Now, as they barrel inexorably towards testing local elections in May, rifts are emerging within the Labour party.


This week, Preet Kaur Gill – a personal private secretary to Home Secretary Shabhana Mahmood – announced in the Telegraph, of all places, that she (Preet Kaur Gill) is “Blue Labour”.


The intervention sparked fierce debate among MPs, with divisions down ideological lines.


Can the party hold it together?


Oli Dugmore is joined by Ethan Croft, who has been speaking to Labour MPs this week, and Megan Kenyon.


LISTEN NEXT: It's official – Labour are in third place
