A quote from the 1945 Labour Manifesto...sourced from Mervyn Jones's biography of Michael Foot. Can you imagine this paragraph getting within twenty miles of the present Labour Party's website:
"The Labour Party is a Socialist Party, and proud of it. Its ultimate purpose at home is the establishment of a Socialist Commonwealth of Great Britain - free, democratic, efficient, progressive, public-spirited, and its material resources organised in the service of the British people."
The past is a different country...
