I enjoyed his interview tonight.

The old boy is 82 and still as sharp as a tack.

Very incisive comment and a real critique of politics in general and why what has happened has happened from both sides.

I for one will never forget the b o l l o x he showed in fronting up to Derek Hatton and the Trots who tried to take over Labour in the mid 80’s.

Labour owe the bloke a great debt, if he hadn’t showed such courage at that point in history it may well be that Labour would have destroyed itself.
