I Think Democracy Is Not A Destination.

We Have Been In Recess Since July, And During That Time There Has Been A Fuel Crisis, A Danish No Vote, The Collapse Of The Euro And A War In The Middle East, But What Is Our Business Tomorrow? The Insolvency Bill [lords]. It Ought To Be Called The Bankruptcy Bill [commons], Because We Play No Role.

The 1973 Labour Conference Will Have Before It The Most Radical Programme The Party Has Prepared Since 1945.

I Was Radicalised By Being A Minister. That's When I Saw How The System Really Worked. And That Is Not A Very Usual Process, But It Certainly Happened To Me: It Gave Me A Lot More Experience, It Helped Me To Understand Where Power Really Lay, Develop Strategies For Undermining Or Changing It, And So On. But That Isn't The Norm. Mr Gladstone Moved To The Left As He Got Older, And One Or Two Other People Have, But Normally You Swing The Other Way.

There Is No Final Victory, As There Is No Final Defeat. There Is Just The Same Battle. To Be Fought, Over And Over Again. So Toughen Up, Bloody Toughen Up.

Through Me The Energy Policy Of The Whole Common Market Is Being Held Up. Without Opening Old Wounds, It Pleases Me No End.
