Jeremy Corbyn with Yanis Varoufakis (2018 Event)
The remarkable transformation of the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn caught commentators by surprise. Against a backdrop of mainstream media scepticism, Corbyn galvanised his grassroots support and denied Theresa May an overall majority at the last election. In this event filmed live at the 2018 Edinburgh International Book Festival, DiEM25 co-founder Yanis Varoufakis discusses with the Labour leader the renaissance of the left and the future of democracy.
