Lord Neil Kinnock
Communication of Politics: A Case for Treatment
(An LSE Library Public Event at LSE Cheng Kin Ku Building (CKK) 54 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3LJ)
Time to report on the great event! A wonderful exposition by Lord Neil Kinnock on the importance of communication in politics. Sharp and perceptive, thorough and rigorous with a healthy dose of self deprecation, the ex Labour Leader kept his audience attentive and absorbed during the evening. A number, possibly in excess of 200, attended the evening at the LSE.

Many thanks to Lord Kinnock for connecting his work and life experience with that of George Lansbury, our other ex Labour Party leader.
The George Lansbury Memorial Trust was founded in 2012 to commemorate the life, work and legacy of George Lansbury (1859–1940). A pioneering campaigner for peace, women’s rights, local democracy and improvements in labour conditions, Lansbury was an adopted East Ender who made a great contribution to local as well as national life.
George Lansbury, MP for Bow & Bromley, led the Labour Party from 1932–1935 and spent his political life campaigning for social justice, women’s rights and world disarmament. The Lansbury Estate in Poplar is named after him. It was built as part of the 1951 Festival of Britain, as an example of ‘housing for the people’ after the Second World War.The Trust organizes an annual George Lansbury Memorial Lecture and other events.
