20:36Now PlayingAs Boris Johnson is set to be replaced soon, Keir Starmer and the Labour Party risk "believing that the Conservatives' recent unpopularity will be enough to secure victory."
Whether it is Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, the Labour Party needs to define a "distinctive policy offering", and according to former Downing Street Staffer Patrick Diamond, Keir Starmer's current vision "lacks clarity."
After more factional strife within Labour, the academic and former Downing Street staffer Patrick Diamond speaks to Anoosh Chakelian about his new book Labour's Civil War: How infighting has kept the left from power (and what can be done about it).
They discuss the Labour Party’s history of fighting itself, what lessons can be learned from its time in government, and what Keir Starmer needs to do to end the conflict.
