Black Agenda Radio · The UK Left Lose Despite a Labour Party Victory

Roger McKenzie is the international editor of the UK-based Morning Star Online, the only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world. He is also the author of the recently published book, African Uhuru: the Fight for African Freedom in the Rise of the Global South. He joins us from Oxford to examine the recent elections in the UK which brought the Labor party back to power after 14 years of Tory governance. We discussed how Labour is not the traditional left party that it once was, how little the two parties differ, and the role of Black politics in that nation.
