Anne traces how Keir Hardie, once Liberal trade unionist, became a socialist amidst the violent suppression of a Scottish miners' strike. And how to went on to become first an MP, and then leader of Britain's socialist Parliamentary party. She explores how Hardie worked in concert with ethical socialist Ramsay MacDonald - and how they had to choose between hardline socialists and the trade unions. With: David Howell, Jim Smyth.
