Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

The grandest finale

I cannot say that I have always enjoyed sitting on the top table at the past fourteen UNISON Conferences.

I haven't always agreed with what my NEC colleagues have got up to. Our trade union has not always been united.

However, I cannot imagine a better way to spend my final day on this platform than to listen to the socialist Leader of our Party explaining his plans for Government.

UNISON today is united in support for the Party Leadership and I cannot remember a better moment at any of the twenty six Conferences I have attended since 1992.

Normal cynicism will be resumed as soon as possible.
