Labour only came into power on the back of the Tory great success. Nothing to do with the East Lothian MP.
More quietly, during the 90’s, Labour’s then shadow defence team showed how Labour had become, after the disaster of the early 1980s, ’sound’ on Defence. It seems to me that your personal success on the economy won the deal in 1997, while colleagues at Defence sealed it.
Man has it wrong again. It was Tory sleaze that gave NuLabour victory nothing to do with the economy.
