The factional war is over. Sir Keir Starmer is the new Leader. The Labour left is scattered and shattered.  But the party leadership is in no mood to reconcile.  The Labour Files show an unprecedented effort to purge the party of Jeremy Corbyn supporters and make sure what happened in 2015 can never happen again.

Jeremy Corbyn’s surprise election as UK Labour leader in 2015 ignites a vicious internal war within the Party. The left flank has the people but the right flank has the power.

The Labour Files, a massive leak of internal documents, reveal how Corbyn’s opponents within the party manoeuvered to disable him as the Labour leader – abandoning democracy in the process.

In the 2017 general election, Jeremy Corbyn shocks everyone after falling just a few thousand votes short of becoming Prime Minister. The Labour Files, a massive leak of internal party documents, reveal how panic over Corbyn’s success unites his opponents.

Meanwhile, a new scandal is brewing that will ultimately lead to his downfall.

A scandal over antisemitism in the UK Labour Party engulfs the final months of Jeremy Corbyn’s time as leader.  But, as The Labour Files show, the facts don’t match the public narrative that sets in following a brutal, internal conflict and the broadcast of a controversial BBC documentary.

Al Jazeera investigates how those deepening divisions began and how they have eroded faith in authority – creating conspiracy theories and ‘alternative facts’.
