The former shadow education secretary explores the rise of 'insurgent' parties, evidence of growing political disenchantment and the recent election of Jeremy Corbyn as Leader of the Labour Party in this event hosted by the Sir Bernard Crick Centre at the University of Sheffield.
During this public lecture, the MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central makes his first public statement on the challenges facing the Labour Party, on his decision not to stand as a leadership contender and on how to close the wide gap that seems to have emerged between the governors and the governed.
Professor Matthew Flinders, Director of the Crick Centre introduces Tristram Hunt MP.
