A new biography, "The Party is Always Right," delves into the turbulent history of the Workers' Revolutionary Party (WRP), one of Britain's biggest far-left organisations. The WRP, once a haven for famous names like Corinne and Vanessa Redgrave, was founded by Irish-born political activist Gerry Healy. The book paints Healy as a man rotten to the core, who ran the WRP as a hardline ideological cult, attracting celebrities and wealthy individuals. However, his reign ended in scandal with serious allegations of sexual exploitation, rape, and abuse.
