Neil Kinnock in conversation with Michael White

Monday, 12th March 2007

Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock reflected on Labour politics, past, present and future, sharing his views on the Labour leadership, health, education, foreign policy, Lords reform - and why he opposes the government's decision to renew Trident - at a special Fabian members event.

In a wide-ranging public conversation with The Guardian's Michael White, kindly hosted by the Institute of Education, Neil Kinnock overturned the party's policy on unilateral nuclear disarmament, and hit the headlines as he explained why he did not support the government's proposals on renewing Trident.

The Fabian Society thanks our hosts, the Institute of Education, and our media partner The Guardian for their support for this event.
