The Left, the Right and the Righteous

Chris Bryant, Sophie Walker, Peter Hitchens. Isabel Hilton hosts.

The left has traditionally seen itself as progressive, with history and morality on its side. But is history on anyone's side? And as for morality, don't all politicians think they're in the right?
