Following the disastrous election loss to Boris Johnson in 2019, the party emerged from the ashes promising to shed itself of its past and the image of one man - Jeremy Corbyn.
His successor Sir Keir Starmer has instead defined his leadership directly in opposition to Corbyn, leaning towards the centrist ideals of another former leader, Tony Blair.
So what remains of the Labour that once promised revolutionary reforms to Britain’s welfare, climate and foreign policies?
This week on the Big Picture podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Corbyn, who resigned in 2019 as Labour leader, was suspended from the party in 2020 and earlier this year banned from running again as a candidate.
He says the party now resembles the undemocratic and authoritarian environment he first encountered in the 1960s.

No future with Sir kid Starver
-
The problem is that Labour is no longer Labour.
-
They where to afraid of him for making positive changes. So they smeared him with anti antisemitism charges.
-
I became active in labour because of Corbyn … he is so principled, honest man ❤❤❤🙏👍✊✊✊
-
I'm in Scotland and a member of the Scottish Greens but I'd be more than happy to travel south to help campaign for Corbyn if he stands as an independent.
-
So happy the considerate voice of Jeremy has not been extinguished by recent times.
-
Really good interview, thanks...joined Labour because of this man...have now left, pity
-
HOW DAMN SAD .... DISASTROUS FOR THE WORLD. Looking at photos of the boris and sunak makes me SICK......LITERALLY.
-
The Labour party under Keir Starmer and Tony Blair should be renamed New Conservatives.
-
A pleasure to listen to Jeremy Corbyn, as always.
-
As a lifelong Labour voter, I will never vote for Labour again while Starmer is leader. Labour will probably get elected next but ONLY because of the state of the Tory party.
-
At this point. Jeremy Corbyn needs to start his own Party. he has nothing to lose. he doesn't need to shy away with dream about abolishing the Monarchy and make Britain a full socialist Country.
-
The fact that Starmer has refused to let Corbyn stand as a candidate. Frankly it shouldnt be his decision. Labour has been a democratic party, and it shoulds be the choice of members not him.
-
Such a transformative opportunity missed
-
so good to hear your voice, Jeremy.
-
So many good things Jeremy has done and continues to do, but never aired on MSM. Barb

Wish Jeremy was the labour leader
-
Wonderful and so refreshing to hear this amazing gent talking. Thankyou. Please interview ken loach too
-
His appearance at Glastonbury really made the establishment worried because they realised that, despite negative coverage in the media, his policies were popular. After that it was relentless all out vilification, smears and ridicule by the media, including the BBC
