Actually, I don't ever think there will be a men-only team of leadership in the Labour party again. People would look at it and say, 'What? Are there no women in the party to be part of the leadership? Do men want to do it all themselves?' It just won't happen again. ~ Harriet Harman
Labour Party quotes by Harriet Harman
We just have to be crystal clear that if we were to abandon all the reforms made over some very painful years in the Labour party, we would be consigned back to opposition. ~ Patricia Hewitt
Labour Party quotes by Patricia Hewitt
The standing orders of the Parliamentary Party, however, apply to me, apply to every other Member of the Parliamentary Labour Party and they put into a context the way in which those rights to freedom of speech should be exercised. ~ Ron Davies
Labour Party quotes by Ron Davies
The comments by the Leader of the Labour Party [Jeremy Corbyn] at the launch, however they were intended, are themselves offensive, and rather than rebuilding trust among the Jewish community, are likely to cause even greater concern. ~ Ephraim Mirvis
Labour Party quotes by Ephraim Mirvis
Well, I feel that everybody in the country knows me. I think people know who I am, and that I'm deputy leader of the Labour party, and that I'm out there talking about their big choice for the future. ~ Harriet Harman
Labour Party quotes by Harriet Harman
I deeply regret the damage which recent publicity has brought to the Labour Party. However, I reject any suggestion of intentional wrongdoing on my part. ~ Wendy Alexander
Labour Party quotes by Wendy Alexander
I am saying that in Wales here we have a very clear election commitment and I hope, and I will express this view, I hope that every individual member of the Labour Party, will understand that and will strive to achieve unity so that we can deliver the yes vote in the Autumn. ~ Ron Davies
Labour Party quotes by Ron Davies
I am in the Labour Party because I am a feminist. I am in the Labour Party because I believe in equality. ~ Harriet Harman
Labour Party quotes by Harriet Harman
I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party. ~ Vivienne Westwood
Labour Party quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I can stand here today, leader of the Labour Party, Prime Minister, and say to the British people: you have never had it so ... prudent. ~ Tony Blair
Labour Party quotes by Tony Blair
I am nothing if not a loyalist. After 46 years in the Labour party, I've grown weary of the cry: 'If only we had a new, shining, revamped leader, all would be well.' ~ David Blunkett
Labour Party quotes by David Blunkett
In the end, the Labour party could cease to represent labour. Stranger historic ironies have happened than that. ~ Enoch Powell
Labour Party quotes by Enoch Powell
Labourism was to be the bete noire of the Party, hated as much as the capitalist system itself. Its growth was to lead to the hardening of Party attitudes almost to the point where even the wish to improve everyday conditions was considered iniquitous. The resentment was heated by the fact that many of the rising Labour leaders had been fellow members of the Social Democratic Federation and once professed the revolution.No words were strong enough for the Party's contempt. In the the Socialist Standard they were 'fakirs', a strong allusion to self-seeking piety, and on the platforms 'Labour bleeders',... ~ Robert Barltrop
Labour Party quotes by Robert Barltrop
That's the point. If these Labour MP's were really working men, they'd have some sense. But most of 'em, or at least the ones I've met, seem to be half-baked intellectuals who've specialized in economics or some such dreary muck. ~ Carter Dickson
Labour Party quotes by Carter Dickson
Abortion is an issue of conscience for the Labour party. ~ Diane Abbott
Labour Party quotes by Diane Abbott
At lunch, Michael began to reminisce about his first election in Wales, when he was selected to occupy Nye Bevan's seat. A brief kerfuffle had resulted when his name did not appear on the short list of Labour Party candidates for the seat. Evidently some locals preferred not to take on Michael in spite of his association with Nye. Jennie Lee, along with others, intervened and Michael not only made the list but also was selected and won his seat in the general election. He had a wonderful photograph of himself and Jill, with their dog Vanessa between them. The happy looking dog in the centre looked as if she had won the election, I told Michael. "It did, too," he said. ~ Carl Rollyson
Labour Party quotes by Carl Rollyson
Our people need Labour party members, trade unionists and MPs to unite. As leader it is my continued commitment to dedicate our party's activity to that goal. ~ Wes Streeting
Labour Party quotes by Wes Streeting
I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country. ~ Tony Blair
Labour Party quotes by Tony Blair
I know that the right kind of political leader for the Labour Party is a desiccated calculating machine. ~ Aneurin Bevan
Labour Party quotes by Aneurin Bevan
The Labour Party believes in turning workers against owners; we believe in turning workers into owners. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Labour Party quotes by Margaret Thatcher
Full and unhesitating implementation of the report's findings must now follow. I call upon the Labour Party to guarantee that there will be zero tolerance of antisemitism. ~ Ephraim Mirvis
Labour Party quotes by Ephraim Mirvis
I support a constitutional conversation, as the Labour Party does, which will allow New Zealanders to evolve a more mature and stable constitutional form, but that's not something that I, as Labour Party, would want to impose, either on the party or on the public. ~ David Cunliffe
Labour Party quotes by David Cunliffe
I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles. ~ Geoff Hoon
Labour Party quotes by Geoff Hoon
In 1925, when Britain went back to the gold standard, that was supported by the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, the Bank of England, the civil service, the CBI, the TUC, the Times, the Economist; that consensus was very strong. ~ Ed Balls
Labour Party quotes by Ed Balls
I was brought up and raised in Britain as a Labour man, and that quickly changed. And I find there are more working-class people in the Conservative Party than the Labour party. ~ John Lydon
Labour Party quotes by John Lydon
As early as 1975 she had come up with a wonderful line about the Labour Party: They've got the usual Socialist disease - they've run out of other people's money. ~ Niall Ferguson
Labour Party quotes by Niall Ferguson
I'm a solid Labour party supporter. I aspired to be a Labour MP, but it's difficult to make the leap from the Foreign Office. ~ Jonathan Powell
Labour Party quotes by Jonathan Powell
It is clear that my predecessor as First Minister is frightening the life out of the Tories and the Labour Party. Long may it continue. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
Labour Party quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
The next Prime Minister walking through that door will be me or (Labour Party leader) Ed Miliband, you can choose an economy that grows, that creates jobs, that generates the money to ensure a properly funded and improving NHS (National Health Service) ... and a government that will cut taxes for 30 million hard-working people ... or you can choose the economic chaos of Ed Miliband's Britain. ~ David Cameron
Labour Party quotes by David Cameron
Margaret [Hodge] is obviously entitled to do what she wishes to do. I would ask her to think for a moment, a Tory prime minister resigned, Britain's voted to leave the European Union, there are massive political issues to be addressed, is it really a good idea to start a big debate in the Labour Party when I was elected less than a year ago with a very large mandate not from MPs, I fully concede and understand that, but from the party members as a whole. ~ Jeremy Corbyn
Labour Party quotes by Jeremy Corbyn
The dream of true economic, gender and racial equality in a free society, which was cherished (if not achieved) by Leftists of the post-war generation, died under New Labour; but the egalitarianism at its heart was resurrected by a merciless minority as the brain-sucking zombie of Political Correctness. ~ Mark Crutchfield
Labour Party quotes by Mark Crutchfield
in this country, who's got the most guns - you and Lloyd and the Labour Party, or the Conservatives with the army and the police on their side? ~ Ken Follett
Labour Party quotes by Ken Follett
I've been really clear that my first job as leader of the Labour Party and co-leader of the labour movement is to engage with our base. ~ David Cunliffe
Labour Party quotes by David Cunliffe
Professor Harold Laski declared that the attainment of power by the British Labour Party in the normal parliamentary fashion must result in a radical transformation of parliamentary government. A socialist administration needs 'guarantees' that its work of transformation would not be 'disrupted' by repeal in event of its defeat at the polls. Therefore the suspension of the Constitution is 'inevitable'. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Labour Party quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
The Labour party on the whole has not been a very effective opposition since the election, partly because it spent months and months electing its new leader. I think the Labour party should, for one thing, stress much more that for most people in the past 13 years, the period was not one of collapse into chaos but actually one where the situation improved, and particularly in areas such as schools, hospitals and a variety of other cultural achievements - so the idea that somehow or other it all needs to be taken down and ground into the dust is not valid. I think we need to defend what most people think basically needs defending and that is the provision of some form of welfare from the cradle to the grave. ~ Eric Hobsbawm
Labour Party quotes by Eric Hobsbawm
The Scottish Labour Party, while I have breath in my body, will listen to the views of trade unionists. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
I know that the right kind of leader for the Labour Party is a desiccated calculating machine who must not in any way permit himself to be swayed by indignation. If he sees suffering, privation or injustice he must not allow it to move him, for that would be evidence of the lack of proper education or of absence of self-control. He must speak in calm and objective accents and talk about a dying child in the same way as he would about the pieces inside an internal combustion engine. ~ Aneurin Bevan
Labour Party quotes by Aneurin Bevan
I did not enter the Labour Party 47 years ago to have our manifesto written by Dr Mori, Dr Gallup and Mr Harris ~ Tony Benn
Labour Party quotes by Tony Benn
The Scottish Labour Party should work as equal partners with the U.K. party, just as Scotland is an equal partner in the United Kingdom. Scotland has chosen home rule - not London rule. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
The Labour Party of today has fits of horrors of the very thought of somebody like me might saying that they bought in white Australia. But I believe they did. ~ Colleen McCullough
Labour Party quotes by Colleen McCullough
We conceive the function of Tribune to be the expression in popular form, and to as large a public as possible, of the views of the Left and Marxist wing of social democracy in this country. Its policy must be that of those who believe that the present leadership of the Labour Party is not sufficiently Socialist. ~ Anthony Crosland
Labour Party quotes by Anthony Crosland
The job of the Scottish Labour Party is to represent working people and represent Scotland. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
It was on 7 March 1936 that Hitler comprehensivelyviolated the Versailles Treaty by sending troops intothe industrial region of the Rhineland, which under Article 180 had been specifically designated ademilitarized zone. Had the German Army beenopposed by the French and British forces stationednear by, it had orders to retire back to base and sucha reverse would almost certainly have cost Hitler thechancellorship. Yet the Western powers, riven withguilt about having imposed what was described as a'Carthaginian peace' on Germany in 1919, allowedthe Germans to enter the Rhineland unopposed. 'After all,' said the influential Liberal politician andnewspaper director the Marquis of Lothian, who hadbeen Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in RamsayMacDonald's National Government, 'they are onlygoing into their own back garden.' When Hitler assured the Western powers in March 1936 thatGermany wished only for peace, Arthur Greenwood,the deputy leader of the Labour Party, told the Houseof Commons: 'Herr Hitler has made a statement…holding out the olive branch… which ought to be takenat face value… It is idle to say that those statementsare insincere.' That August Germany adopted compulsory two-year military service ~ Andrew Roberts
Labour Party quotes by Andrew Roberts
We need people like me in the Labour party. ~ Alan Johnson
Labour Party quotes by Alan Johnson
New Labour leader Ed Miliband announces plan to 'make this party slightly less unelectable by 2015'. He added: 'I am Ed, the Almighty One.'
Defeated brother David Miliband overheard muttering: 'Now I know how Wayne Christ felt after little Jesus came along. ~ Andy Zaltzman
Labour Party quotes by Andy Zaltzman
On the other hand, the militant left, and many socialist intellectuals such as my old friend Ralph Miliband (whose sons were to become important figures in the offices of Prime Minister Tony Blair and Chancellor Gordon Brown), also wrote off the Labour Party until the moment when it had been captured and was ready to become 'a real socialist party', whatever that meant. I outraged some of my friends by pointing out that they were not seriously trying to defeat Mrs Thatcher. Whatever they thought, 'they acted as though another Labour government like the ones we have had before from time to time since 1945 were not just unsatisfactory, but worse than no Labour government … (i.e.) worse than the only alternative government on offer, namely Mrs Thatcher's ~ Eric J. Hobsbawm
Labour Party quotes by Eric J. Hobsbawm
People can say what they want in the Labour Party. ~ Michael Foot
Labour Party quotes by Michael Foot
Is it not typical that we have a Tory Government that wants, just like its pals in the Labour Party, constantly to talk down Scotland's prospects? ~ Nicola Sturgeon
Labour Party quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
In my view it is better for the Labour Party, the leadership and the new prime minister that he be given the maximum flexibility. ~ John Richard Reid
Labour Party quotes by John Richard Reid
The Labour party has never been a socialist party, although there have always been socialists in it - a bit like Christians in the Church of England. ~ Tony Benn
Labour Party quotes by Tony Benn
Crucially, I'd like to thank Labour party members up and down the country for sticking with us. For their active citizenship, their willingness to engage in our democracy, and for being there at the cutting edge of making our democracy work. ~ David Blunkett
Labour Party quotes by David Blunkett
I've never known a time when the in-fighting in the Labour Party was so bitter. ~ Roy Hattersley
Labour Party quotes by Roy Hattersley
I must emphasise that there is nothing in the Labour Party constituion that could, or should prevent people from holding opinions which favour Leninist-Trotskyism. Certainly Marxism has, and will continue to have an important function in the Labour Party. ~ Neil Kinnock
Labour Party quotes by Neil Kinnock
Labour is the party of law and order in Britain today. Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. ~ Tony Blair
Labour Party quotes by Tony Blair
Our long-term objective is clear: to replace the Labour Party as the progressive wing of politics in this country. ~ Jo Grimond
Labour Party quotes by Jo Grimond
In the Members' Dining Room, the Conservatives eat at one end, the Labour Party at the other, while the Liberals wait at table. ~ Gyles Brandreth
Labour Party quotes by Gyles Brandreth
The Labour Party in 2011 was in an exceptionally bad place. We'd been hammered in an election. We didn't see the scale of it coming. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
1926. The General Strike in Leith. You read all that and what they said then and you pure see what the Labour Party used to believe in - freedom for the ordinary cat. ~ Irvine Welsh
Labour Party quotes by Irvine Welsh
I'm still batting away on my politics for the Labour Party. I'm much further to the left of them than I used to be, but that's because they've moved, not me. ~ Billy Bragg
Labour Party quotes by Billy Bragg
We will renew our party, to rebuild our land - and we will do it by being a better Labour, real Labour, Scottish Labour. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
People know where I stand in the Labour party and what I believe in. ~ Tony Blair
Labour Party quotes by Tony Blair
At various times in the next 20 or 30 years I think it reasonable to anticipate that I will be among the leadershp of the Labour Party, but as far as being leader, I can't see it happening, and I'm not particularly keen on it happening. ~ Neil Kinnock
Labour Party quotes by Neil Kinnock
What people should understand is that I adore the Labour party. ~ Tony Blair
Labour Party quotes by Tony Blair
I was a Labour Party man but I found myself to the left of the Labour party in Nelson, militant as that was. I came to London and in a few months I was a Trotskyist. ~ C.L.R. James
Labour Party quotes by C.L.R. James
There is little or no point being chair of the Labour Party and being ignored when engaging with Labour ministers when you're trying to articulate something that affects ordinary people in society. ~ Colm Keaveney
Labour Party quotes by Colm Keaveney
The British Labour Party has always had a very strong "Atlanticist component," with an obsequiousness to American policies, and Blair represents this wing. He's clearly obsessed with Iraq. He has to be because the overwhelming majority of the people of Britain oppose a military action. ~ John Pilger
Labour Party quotes by John Pilger
Soon, if we are not prudent, millions of people will be watching each other starve to death through expensive television sets ~ Aneurin Bevan
Labour Party quotes by Aneurin Bevan
The Labour Party can go into the next election united behind the most radical manifesto on which we have ever campaigned. ~ Roy Hattersley
Labour Party quotes by Roy Hattersley
Is the Labour Party to remain a democratic party in which the right of free criticism and free debate is not merely tolerated but encouraged? Or are the rank and file of the party to be bludgeoned or cowed into an uncritical subservience towards the leadership? ~ Michael Foot
Labour Party quotes by Michael Foot
Labour Party members must all be free to criticise and oppose injustice and abuse wherever we find it. ~ Jeremy Corbyn
Labour Party quotes by Jeremy Corbyn
Civil Society is a cluster of institutions and associations strong enough to prevent tyranny, but which are, none the less, entered and left freely, rather than imposed by birth or sustained by awesome ritual. You can join the Labour Party without slaughtering a sheep ... ~ Ernest Gellner
Labour Party quotes by Ernest Gellner
I think the truth is that the Labour Party isn't believed any more because people suspect it will say anything to get votes. The rebuilding of some radical alternatives to Thatcherism - and by that I mean all-party Thatcherism - will require us to do some very difficult things ~ Tony Benn
Labour Party quotes by Tony Benn
Now, I think that in acknowledging that every individual Member of Parliament and indeed every individual member of the Labour Party, has rights to express their view in a spirit of tolerance. ~ Ron Davies
Labour Party quotes by Ron Davies
We have arrived at the point where the public are right in thinking that John Prescott no longer serves a purpose in governing the country, only a purpose in trying to hold together the fragile peace in the Labour Party ~ Andrew Lansley
Labour Party quotes by Andrew Lansley
And, I hope now that everybody understands that the Labour Party - as it always has done - stands for free speech and individual Members of the Labour Party are entitled to exercise that free speech. ~ Ron Davies
Labour Party quotes by Ron Davies
I want to change Scotland, but the only way we can change Scotland is by changing the Scottish Labour Party. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
The right to demand the best and refuse the worst and do so not by virtue of your wealth, but your equal status as citizen, thats precisely what the modern Labour Party should stand for ~ Tony Blair
Labour Party quotes by Tony Blair
The trade unions and the Labour Party ... failed miserably. Instead of giving concrete support, and calling upon workers to take industrial action, they did nothing. ~ Arthur Scargill
Labour Party quotes by Arthur Scargill
Billions raised, billions spent. No idea where the money has gone. With a record like that the chancellor should be running for treasurer of the Labour Party. ~ David Cameron
Labour Party quotes by David Cameron
We in the Labour party owe it to the people we represent to make sure that we offer a choice at the next election between our Labour values and those of the Conservatives. ~ Lucy Powell
Labour Party quotes by Lucy Powell
The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party. ~ Clive Anderson
Labour Party quotes by Clive Anderson
We in the Labour party know better than most that opposition is the easy part. What's more difficult is governing and setting out an agenda for government. ~ Lucy Powell
Labour Party quotes by Lucy Powell
Now, many of us in the Labour Party are conservationists - and we all love the red squirrel. But there is one ginger rodent which we never want to see again - Danny Alexander. ~ Harriet Harman
Labour Party quotes by Harriet Harman
We must draw on our early roots and remind people why the Labour party was created and who it sought to represent. We have never been a sectional party promoting self-interest, but instead a force for engaging self-reliance and self-determination. ~ David Blunkett
Labour Party quotes by David Blunkett
The Scottish Labour Party and its renewal are more important than me. ~ Johann Lamont
Labour Party quotes by Johann Lamont
I've said in the primary race repeatedly that a Labour Party that I lead would be a true red Labour Party, be very clear about its social democratic roots and its social democratic agenda. ~ David Cunliffe
Labour Party quotes by David Cunliffe
I come from a generation of sceptics, who do not believe what politicians say. The Labour Party wants to convince people through actions, not words. The Nationalist party have given the country 25 years of lies, the Labour Party will build the country anew. ~ Joseph Muscat
Labour Party quotes by Joseph Muscat
The trouble with the Labour Party is that they don't really believe in Socialism, but they cannot wholeheartedly approve of private enterprise either. ~ Jo Grimond
Labour Party quotes by Jo Grimond
So there clearly is a sense in which the Labour Party here, certainly at State level is reaching out and connecting with people and reflecting the aspirations and needs of, you know the mass of ordinary Australians. ~ Patricia Hewitt
Labour Party quotes by Patricia Hewitt
First of all it has never been the case that I have threatened people with expulsion or that I've threatened to throw people out of the Parliamentary Labour Party. ~ Ron Davies
Labour Party quotes by Ron Davies
For six and a half years, I had responsibility for leading the Labour party policy on education and delivering on our promise of improved opportunities for all our children. ~ David Blunkett
Labour Party quotes by David Blunkett
The Labour Party is and always has been an instinctive part of my life. ~ Roy Jenkins
Labour Party quotes by Roy Jenkins
In our democracy, political parties have to raise funds to campaign and put their policies to the electorate, and as a proud supporter of the Labour Party, I am happy to be in a position where I can make a contribution to its ongoing work. ~ David Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury Of Turville
Labour Party quotes by David Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury Of Turville
I have dealt with a pretty interesting mix of young people, many of whom have never been involved in any form of politics at any level who are interested in alternatives to austerity and debt, and older people who left the Labour party, mainly over Iraq, who are coming back in. ~ Jeremy Corbyn
Labour Party quotes by Jeremy Corbyn
They [the Labour Party] are not fit to manage a whelk stall. ~ Winston Churchill
Labour Party quotes by Winston Churchill
The Labour Party is being led by a woman but she has not been elected to anything. She is the lady who makes the breakfast in the Kinnock household. ~ Edwina Currie
Labour Party quotes by Edwina Currie
Of course we as Labour Party members must all be free to criticise and oppose injustice and abuse wherever we find it. But as today's Report recommends, can we please leave [Adolf] Hitler and Nazi metaphors alone (especially in the context of Israel). Why? Because the Shoah is still in people's family experience. ~ Jeremy Corbyn
Labour Party quotes by Jeremy Corbyn
It is beyond belief that someone could come to the launch of a report on antisemitism in the Labour Party and espouse such vile conspiracy theories about Jewish people. ~ Ruth Smeeth
Labour Party quotes by Ruth Smeeth
Contrast that with the call of the Liberal Democrats in April, when they were prepared to call upon the British people to participate in a 24-hour strike. It shows how far to the right the Labour Party's gone. ~ Arthur Scargill
Labour Party quotes by Arthur Scargill
I have never been in favour of expelling people from the Labour Party. ~ Michael Foot
