How the rise of Thatcher mirrored the rise of Militant - The Brink episode two

Margaret Thatcher's rise to power nationally fuelled the rise of Militant in Liverpool - at least in part.

That's the focus of episode two of The Brink, our podcast which focuses on how Militant came into power in the city in the 1980s and why their clash with the Government of the day and their own party quickly became inevitable.

We've got the usual mix of interviews and analysis for you to listen to and enjoy.

You can download The Brink wherever you listen to your podcasts but for exclusive, interactive, immersive content download the Entale app for iOS and Android.

If you like what you heard, please rate and review The Brink and help other listeners discover us too.

This is a Laudable production for the Liverpool Echo. You can find out more about Laudable and its other local podcasts by following us on social media on Twitter where we are @LaudablePods and Instagram by searching for laudable_podcasts
