Published 2022-09-23
An investigation based on the largest leak of documents in British political history. The Labour Files examines thousands of internal documents, emails and social media messages to reveal how senior officials in one of the two parties of government in the UK ran a coup by stealth against the elected leader of the party.
The program will show how officials set about silencing, excluding and expelling its own members in a ruthless campaign to destroy the chances of Jeremy Corbyn becoming Britain’s prime minister.
Candidates for key political roles were blocked and constituency groups suspended as the party’s central office sought to control the elected leadership.

    When we lost Corbyn, I lost all hope in the Labour party and the UK
  • @imiss2pac427
    Corbyn dares to speak for the poor and for Palestine. That was his death sentence
  • @kristen6821
    As an American I see so many parallels between what happened to Corbyn and what happened to Bernie Sanders in the US.
  • @KhalerJex
    The biggest mistake in this documentary is the idea Britain is a 'democracy'.
  • Corbyns mistake was that he was too nice, he should have thrown out all of these people conspiring against the members. You can't compromise with the right, let that be a lesson for next time.
  • @KillaKermit
    Thanks for actually reporting on this, the silence in the UK media has been deafening.
  • @Para2normal
    This needs to be shown on a big screen outside the Labour Party Conference this week.
  • Watching this is like eating poison. The depths of duplicity to which these MPs and bureaucrats sink makes most honest people speechless. They're a disgrace. Frankly it's tantamount to treason.
  • @amirfahmi6248
    Speaking out against Israel's inhumane treatment of the Palestinians is warranted. Boycott Israel products. Support BDS 🙏
  • @madguys1000
    There is absolutely no way I could ever vote Labour ever again after watching this.
  • @dondoodat
    As a Corbyn supporter I am glad the truth is coming out. As a Corbyn/Labour supporter I am appalled at the behaviour of the party and that this is overshadowing the disastrous behaviour of the Tories and the likelihood that many people will now not vote Labour.
  • @muhpiyas
    I'm utterly disgusted. This is not acceptable.
  • Today's Labour Party is not a socialist party, of any stripe. Why any socialist would contemplate casting their vote for them, is beyond my comprehension. The revelations in this Al Jazeera programme, have sickened me.
  • @MrsLautner011
    I just wanna cry when I think of what we could have had! Bastards!!!
  • @bainmarie
    Jeremy Corbyn ,& all his supporters should form a New Party, as it stands the now so called Labour Party is rotten to the core.
  • I was at the Brighton event. I am former security so i tend to notice aggression. Its a small ish venue. There was no spitting. Or aggression. I will never vote Labour until all those responsible are brought to justice.
  • Thank you, it's cathartic to watch this after being gaslit by the media for 7 years
  • I'm an Aussie, I thought Corbin was a great leader, a breath of fresh air and a man of principles.
  • can you imagine how much different (ie better) the world would be had bernie sanders and jeremy corbyn been elected leaders of their countries???
