Labour Party

Labour has shifted from the New Left, to New Labour, to Corbynista Labour. Now, it may see power again with a most unlikely group of activists from the 1970s becoming the fourth generation to win power since 1945. Only Clement Attlee, Harold Wilson and Tony Blair have won power from a sitting Conservative government. Of the 10 general elections since 1979, Labour has won three, all under Blair. This record of failure, if applied to any other walk of life, would raise the fundamental question of why continue to fight a losing battle?

There is an old world fading out with a new world coming in. This story represents where the two worlds meet. Steelworker, Geronimo 'Mo" Fields, is unexpectedly placed into leadership as a union steward and questions his future in the steel industry as he tries to deescalate tension between a supervisor and angry co-workers that want to strike while contract negotiations with the company are about to expire.
