Re: Labour Leadership Contest
Just an observation......Denis Healey was once a member of the Communist Party......gave a strongly left-wing speech to the Labour Party conference in 1945.......became Secretary of State for Defence......became Chancellor of the Exchequer.......became deputy leader of the Labour Party.......in 2006 he said : " Nuclear weapons are infinitely less important in our foreign policy than they were in the days of the Cold War" and "I don't think we need nuclear weapons any longer" ...... in 2013 he said : " "I wouldn't object strongly to leaving the EU. The advantages of being members of the union are not obvious. The disadvantages are very obvious. I can see the case for leaving – the case for leaving is stronger than for staying in . "
