Labour: Is the Party Over?

The Labour Party may be the official opposition, tasked with holding the Government to account - but the party is currently going through one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was only nominated to be a candidate in the last leadership election to give as broad a range of candidates as possible, but his style of old-school Socialism and political activism saw the party's grass-roots membership sweep him into power with a huge mandate. However, Corbyn enjoys no such support from his fellow Labour MP's who have launched a challenge to his leadership. With less than a week to go before this fresh leadership election comes to a conclusion - and with Corbyn expected to be re-elected by party members - the BBC's deputy political editor John Pienaar asks if this is the end of the road for the historic political party. He travels to Brighton to witness at first hand the battle for the soul of the party, as party activists from both camps slog it out for control of the party.
