Neil Kinnock, former leader of the British Labour Party.

Stephen Sackur talks to Lord Kinnock, former Labour leader. With the revival of undiluted socialism in the party, will they be able to regain power in his lifetime?

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Lord Kinnock, former leader of the British Labour Party. Britain's Labour party has rediscovered its enthusiasm for undiluted socialism. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has comprehensively quashed a rebellion by his own disaffected MPs and seems convinced that British voters are ready to embrace radical-left politics.

However, the problem remains that the opinion polls tell a different story - but as the 2015 election proved, the polls are not always accurate. Lord Kinnock led Labour through a period of internal warfare a generation ago. Will Labour regain power in his lifetime?
