Minimum wage, radically investing in education and the Health Service and most importantly the Good Friday Agreement. Could have had a legacy

Margaret Thatcher too, closed down the coal mines and so was in the vanguard of the fight against global warming - USA didn't catch up for decades until Obama started closing their mines. A good line on Thatcher (and Blair) is: "She was a terrible PM. Just terrible. It is amazing she was re-elected. Twice"

Of course they were often in opposition but it's the friction between their ideas that is interesting, coming to similar conclusions on growth scepticism from different directions.

Was pretty much responsible for the murder of over a million Iraqis though, always remember that one. Yeah I was playing devils advocate, why I said could of as that was his dream. Yeah I voted for him once but we all did in '97. It was funny after eighteen years. Felt really funny voting at an election again this year

The thing is that Jeremy hasn't achieved anything, as yet. He's made Labour unelectable. Not strictly true - he has consolidated their unelectability following initial fine work by Ed Milliband.
