With the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader last September and the possibility (No comment on how likely/unlikely) of him remaining so until the next general election, many are seeing this as the great victory of the Bennite faction within Labour that have been diminished in numbers & influence since their heyday of the 1980s.
However another figure who has become referenced following Corbyn's election is the erstwhile Labour Leader, Michael Foot. Whilst Foot was himself a Bevanite, he was not of the Hard Left faction that Tony Benn subscribed to & led. Nevertheless, many are calling Corbyn the successor of Benn and Foot.
My challenge to is how can the Footite brand of Labour & leftism remaining a part, though not necessarily dominant, part of the Labour Party.
