‘The History of the Labour movement and socialism has always been based very largely on the work of local Trades Councils.
From 1970 to 1975, we saw the Heath Government in power and out again followed by the most radical Labour government working with activities up and down the country. Jack Grassby’s book covers this period and should be widely read to help us for the future. Rt. Hon. Tony Benn MP |
| ‘The mid-1960s to mid-1970s was a period of widespread and intense political activity which deserves more study. Jack Grassby was at the centre of much of the political action on Tyneside and his book is a fascinating and vivid picture of what it was like to have been around at that time’.
Rt. Hon. Dr. David Clark MP |
