Description

Paul Rowley reports on a Labour Party inquest into their 1992 General Election defeat. A report to its ruling National Executive suggests the public distrusted the Party because it was wedded to the past and held back ambitious voters. The dossier compiled by General Secretary Larry Whitty also concludes that its campaign - particularly its showbiz-style rally in Sheffield - was a mistake. Includes interview with Bryan Gould; Tony Benn. Also includes archive election campaign coverage featuring leader Neil Kinnock and election broadcast known as Jennifer’s Ear.
