Labour Party factions

Since Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party in 2015 the party has become more divided than ever. Jon Cruddas, the party’s former policy chief, who has produced a report titled ‘Why Labour lost in 2015 and how it can win again’, has accused the party of ‘becoming dangerously out of touch with the electorate and unwilling to acknowledge this’. Factions, old and new, continue to divide the party and its supporters. What are the main factions?

• Grassroots group set up in the wake of Jeremy Corbyn’s election as Labour leader and a key player in the campaign for him to be re-elected

• Founded by the left-winger John Lansman in 2015, 4 weeks after Corbyn’s successful campaign to become leader of the Labour Party
