With a bruising new leadership contest underway and member set against member, Labour looks to be on the verge of splitting. Who is to blame? Would British politics benefit from a reconfiguration? And what other reforms does the system need in the wake of the Brexit vote?

The panel:

• Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen Mary, University of London
• Anthony Barnett, writer and founder of the openDemocracy website
• Isabel Hardman, Assistant Editor of The Spectator
• Emily Jones, Associate Professor in Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government (chair)
• John McTernan, commentator and former Political Secretary to Tony Blair
• John Woodcock, Member of Parliament for Barrow and Furness
