For much of his half-century career in the House of Commons, Tony Benn has been the most loved and loathed man in British politics. He was widely caricatured as "Bogey Benn" by the Tories during the 1970s and was more recently anathematised by Tony Blair as the man who "almost knocked the Labour party over the edge of the cliff into extinction".

About this product

Product Information

Benn has always a controversial figure. He was widely caricatured as Bogey Benn by the Tories during the 1970s and was more recently anathematised by Tony Blair as the man who almost knocked the Labour party over the edge of the cliff into extinction . Nonetheless, many of the policies he championed, and for which he was widely belittled, have since entered the statute books. Indeed, if history is a chronicle of ironies, there can have been little more ironic than when, following Benn's valedictory speech in the Commons in 2001, a Tory backbencher commended him to fellow MPs as Britain's greatest living Parliamentarian .
