 The Euston Manifesto - Labour Must Die!
New Labour was a response of sorts to that critique, drawing heavily on the late 1980s 'New Times'/Marxism Today analyses (with which Stuart Hall was himself associated) and attempting a kind of virtual, heavily mediated connection with some of those emerging social 'movements outside the party'.
