Neil endorsing you
“I’ll get my coat”

Kinnock, in his capacity as EU Commissioner in 2004, was responsible for sacking Marta Andreasen after she had refused to sign-off the Commission’s (flawed) accounts:

Genuine question. Just wondering …. does Neil Kinnock have any credibility anywhere in Britain, outside perhaps his old South Wales heartland where he may still be fondly remembered?

He pops up now and again on places like Andrew Marr’s show, but who’s listening to that?

“Genuine question. Just wondering …. does Neil Kinnock have any credibility anywhere in Britain, outside perhaps his old South Wales heartland where he may still be fondly remembered?”

Kinnock, evidently, “passionately believes” that he has wide credibility.

“I am certain that he is a modern democratic socialist because he has got strong values and he is very practical.”

Can’t help but think that being good at DIY and having unspecified values (I believe David Davis has those…) are not really leadership attributes. One of the inventors of New Labour endorses a New Labour candidate whilst once more failing to indicate what he actually wants to achieve. This is not looking hopeful – remember when the Conservatives finally elected David Cameron (over David Davies) then there was actually clearly set out visions on offer; here there seems to be assertions and mea culpas, and that is all.

I was a member of the Labour Party for many years. I left for several reasons. Now I would like to join a political party again. I believe that Trident should be scrapped. I believe that the gas, electricity, water and public transport industries should be renationalized.

Any offers?
