Len McCluskey – General Secretary, Unite the Union
Stephen Sackur interviews Len McCluskey, leader of Unite the Union and the UK Labour Party’s biggest financial backer. Can their choice of Jeremy Corbyn's successor save the party?
Like many of Europe’s long-established parties of the left, the UK Labour Party is in big trouble. In the December 2019 election, Labour wasn’t just beaten, it was humiliated and lost its grip on working-class heartlands in the midlands and the north. With Jeremy Corbyn serving his notice as leader, the party is in the midst of picking a successor.
Stephen Sackur interviews Len McCluskey, who will have a big say in that choice. He leads Unite the Union, which is Labour’s biggest financial backer. Who can save Labour from a slow death?
