The NS Podcast #209: 1997 Anniversary Special

The New Statesman podcast.

By New Statesman

*/

20 years on from Labour’s general election landslide, Helen and Stephen host a special edition looking back at the party’s journey. Lord Spencer Livermore describes what it was like to be part of the 1997 campaign team. Kate Mossman reminds us what critics say Cool Britannia was listening to – and what was actually topping the charts (Barbie Girl). And Helen conducts a dramatic reading of our May 2 leader. Warning: deeply optimistic content.
