Tony Benn wrote in his diary on Monday 16th February 1987:
“Today we had a meeting of the NEC and the Shadow Cabinet. The first since Neil Kinnock became leader. Kinnock introduced the meeting and spoke for about twenty minutes. We went on to Peter Mandelson who said a few words. I find Mandelson a threatening figure for the future of the Party.”
Prophetic words. Tony Benn proved to be a much shrewder judge of character than Tony Blair and Keir #Starmer. #Mandelson
The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015.
It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough.
Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life.
For the 97. For their families. For every campaigner who never gave up.
This is your legacy.
