Nigel Farage's Influence on the Conservative Party

It's 100 years since the election of December 1923, which led to the formation of Britain's first Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald.

Plus: Columnists Rachel Sylvester and Tom McTague discuss the chances of Nigel Farage making a political comeback, why Keir Starmer praised Thatcher's 'drive', and what do we mean by success?
