When the 20th century began on the 1st of January 1900 they didn't exist.

Twenty-four years later, they were in the government. 

Such was the rise of the Labour Party, a new political movement run by and for the working class. 

New Manchester Walks' Ed Glinert, a Penguin author and political historian, commemorates the centenary of the first Labour government with this fascinating talk.
