Critic Rating
A new six part series from Tortoise which tells the inside story of a double revolution in the Labour Party which defined Britain’s present and will likely go on to shape its future. The series charts the takeover of Labour by the far-left under Jeremy Corbyn, the civil war that ensued and the election of a new leader, Keir Starmer, who set out to erase all trace of his predecessor. Eight years’ hard Labour is hosted by David Aaronovitch with additional reporting by Tortoise’s political editor Cat Neilan. You can find out more about Tortoise:Download the Tortoise app - f...

Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Dec 2, 2023
"It’s all too close and raw. David Aaronovitch, the author and ex-Times columnist, expertly leads a detailed investigation into the Labour party’s recent past. There’s a lot of hard work in here, presented in Tortoise’s fact-packed but highly listenable manner."
