Voting for Harriet

Article Abstract:

Tony Blair's shadow cabinet will be shaped in large part by a July 24, 1996, parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) election. Nineteen members of Blair's government-in-waiting will be chosen via this vote. However, Blair may keep such insiders as Harriet Harman on his cabinet, even if the PLP rejects her.

Blair's brothers

Article Abstract:

Britain's Labor Party leader, Tony Blair, finds it politically advantageous to sustain the image that his party is at odds with the trade unions. Relations between both sides are much closer than they let on, but each has its own political agenda to protect by letting relations appear strained.

Flattened by Blair

Article Abstract:

Apparently the only way the Labor Party could lose the next general British election is if internal strife tears them apart. Blair is working to insure that this does not happen. Right now there is no one in the Labor Party who offers an alternate to the leader. His politicking is discussed.
