Splitters
Available for over a year
Peter Snowdon tells the inside story of the lengthy planning, high hopes, internal disputes and deep disappointments of the MPs who tried to create a new political force in the UK. In a dramatic gesture they split away from their Labour and Conservative colleagues to form firstly an independent group and then a new party, Change UK. But under the pressure of organisational problems, political developments and electoral failure, their differences have forced them to since split apart themselves.
