These terms confusing, but working for NUS in 1980s executive labour students like Phil Woolas, I regarded more to the left than soft.

Betty Brown a wonderful, warm, caring person full of sparkling love and great to see her and other Post Office campaigners meet with Government Minister. You also sparkle more in your Newsnight journalism, as you were part of making things happen by simple action of presenting the business card ๐
