So I was delighted when Labour were back in power. I was hopeful that Labour really could introduce ‘an ethical foreign policy’ abroad as they suggested and greater social justice at home. These feelings were gradually replaced by disillusion and anger as Labour transformed itself into New Labour. When Blair stepped down I felt pride that it was opposition to the invasion of Iraq that had dogged him to the end but also sadness at the tremendous opportunity he had squandered. Show less »
