Neil Kinnock has been called the Lost Leader of British politics. A spectacular rise to power took him to the helm of a Labour party beset with internal division and a poor public image. A single-minded determination to achieve party unity during nine years as leader of the Opposition brought the Welsh miner's son tantalizingly close to becoming Prime Minister. Instead Neil Kinnock had to endure the dubious epithet that he had made Labour electable but failed to see them elected, and at the age of 50 he retired to the back benches. In this first biography since Kinnock become party leader in 1983, Eileen Jones draws together the strands of political analysis and personality profiles, and talks to Mr Kinnock and those who have worked with him. Neil Kinnock looks at the life, career and future outlook of the man who once claimed he would not be happy until the furniture van pulled into Downing Street.
