[…] she could have gone down fighting. Instead, she gave in and quit — just as she had done in 198081 over Monetary Base Control. Notes A Single Mind, MacMillan, 1989.

Lobster Issue 2 (1983)

[…] at work. On the perspective I am suggesting, almost before Kennedy’s heart stopped beating the one thing which everyone involved would have agreed upon, without discussion, never mind coercion, was that a ‘lone nut’ verdict had to emerge.

[…] but the effect can be unintentionally comic: ‘Roy wants a coalition government and expects to see one in the first half of this year….Roy said he wouldn’t mind whether Wilson or Callaghan led the new government but made it clear he would expect to succeed whichever of them took it on.’ (January 1 1975, […]
