‘Hardie is “Greatest Labour Hero”‘ – BBC

Article here
Kier Hardie has been voted Labour’s greatest hero. I can’t argue too much – it’s a good call. Although, if you look at the people in the running I think my league table would differ slightly:

1) Nye Bevan – because he is an absolute legend and my all time Labour Hero
2) Kier Hardie – because without him we wouldn’t have a party worth calling Labour (although sometimes we can still doubt that now, right?)
3) Clem Atlee – because he was an unsung hero, but how much of him was just figurehead?
4) Barbara Castle – because her determination and strength of mind was phenomenal (NB – she could have been higher, but to my shame I don’t know enough about her)

So, What does Tom Miller, Peter Kenyon and Bob Piper think?
