An increasing proportion of older people on low incomes are now home owners, it says.’These trends have occurred as a direct result of government policies to encourage owner-occupation. Neil Kinnock’s heroic and necessary efforts between 1983 and 1992 were devoted to junking the baggage the party had acquired in those dark years that immediately followed the 1979 election; the perception grew – even in the Labour Party itself – that this meant signing reluctantly up to an agenda that was fundamentally Tory; on Europe, on defence, on trade union ballots, and on state control for example.It helped to make Labour look much more electable than had seemed possible in 1983; but the Tories were still calling the tunes; and Labour had been forced to dance to them.
