Neil Kinnock Party Quotations

Is Tony Blair of the Labour party? The answer to that is profoundly 'yes', but that is not how, sentimentally, he is regarded in the Labour movement generally.

My first real experience of ambition was as party leader. It was my ambition for Labour to win, in which event I would be prime minister.

He addressed a grown-up party in a grown-up way. It's not going to repair anyone's gastric ulcer, but at least they know where he stands.

Political renegades always start their career of treachery as 'the best men of all parties' and end up in the Tory knackery.

I must emphasise that there is nothing in the Labour Party constituion that could, or should prevent people from holding opinions which favour Leninist-Trotskyism. Certainly Marxism has, and will continue to have an important function in the Labour Party.

At various times in the next 20 or 30 years I think it reasonable to anticipate that I will be among the leadershp of the Labour Party, but as far as being leader, I can't see it happening, and I'm not particularly keen on it happening.

The trouble with the Socialist Workers Party is that they live in an historical thermos-flask.
