Certainly We Know From Our Own Experience

A Modern Health And Social Care System Has To Be Completely Focussed On The Needs Of Its Users.

We Just Have To Be Crystal Clear That If We Were To Abandon All The Reforms Made Over Some Very Painful Years In The Labour Party, We Would Be Consigned Back To Opposition.

And It Seems To Me In That Experience May Lie At Least Some Of The Clues For Policy Development Perhaps Constitutional Changes As Well That Labour Will Need To Make At The National Level Too.

You Don't Repair That Relationship By Sitting Down And Talking About Trust Or Making Promises. Actually, What Rebuilds It Is Living It And Doing Things Differently - And I Think That Is What Is Going To Make The Difference.

And I Hope Very Much That The Alp Will Become Increasingly Engaged In The International Discussions That Are Taking Place Amongst Centre-left Parties Generally.
