Dr Marc Stears comments on Ed Miliband and the Labour Party

Date

Dr. Marc Stears has recently discussed the Labour Party on BBC Radio 4 and commented on Ed Miliband in The Guardian newspaper.


Marc appeared on a programme called Blue Labour, discussing the relationship between liberalism and the Labour party. The programme, by David Goodhart (founder and Editor-at-Large of Prospect magazine) and originally broadcast on 21 March, dealt with Labours challenge to appeal to its traditional working class supporters without alienating the middle-class voters it needs to win the next election. The full programme can be heard here.

Marc was also quoted in an article by Andy Beckett on the real Ed Miliband, in which he offered an insight into his friendship with Ed Miliband when the two of them were teenagers. The full article can be read here.
