Tune in for election night 1910 this Saturday

The story of the 1910 General Elections Peers against the People and the dramatic is the subject of Carolyn Quinn's documentary, broadcast this Saturday night at 8.30pm on the BBC Parliament channel.

If you stay tuned at 8.30pm, you could watch me trying to do my best AJP Taylor impression, giving a TV lecture 'Political Lessons from 1910' which goes out at 8.30pm after the documentary.

As regular readers of Next Left (and Our Kingdom) might recall, it is the dramatic story of the fight for and against democracy and, curiously, of a very Lib-Lab political triumph for reform over the forces of conservatism and reaction.

Happy times!

Welcome

Welcome to the Next Left blog from the Fabian Society. We have been writing about policies and politics since the late 19th century. Now we are firmly in the 21st century, starting debates that matter today. As with all Fabian publications, posts on Next Left represent the views of their individual authors, not the collective view of the Fabian Society as a whole.

If you have got an idea, why not drop us a line with a 50 word pitch. It should not have been published previously and should fit with the Next Left ethos.
