The longest suicide note in history.

Gerald Kaufman

The Labour Party can go into the next election united behind the most radical manifesto on which we have ever campaigned.

Roy Hattersley

If the Labour manifesto is a pale shade of austerity, then I believe Labour will be defeated at the next election

Len McCluskey

A manifesto, a diary, a crumpled suicide note, and a still relevant love letter.

Art Spiegelman

We in the Labour party owe it to the people we represent to make sure that we offer a choice at the next election between our Labour values and those of the Conservatives.

Lucy Powell

Jeremy Corbyn's election was the most hopeful thing since the Labour Party began. He's the first Labour leader who's ever stood on the picket line along with workers.

Ken Loach

The term 'meritocracy' was coined by socialist theoretician Michael Young, who crafted the party's 1945 election manifesto.

Terry Glavin

Nobody can guarantee the real terms per pupil funding increase. In the Labour party's manifesto we know the figures don't add up.

Theresa May

The Parliamentary Labour Party is a crucial and very important part of the Labour party, but it is not the entirety of the Labour Party.

Jeremy Corbyn

I did not enter the Labour Party 47 years ago to have our manifesto written by Dr Mori, Dr Gallup and Mr Harris

Tony Benn

The general election of 1983 has produced one important result that has passed virtually without comment in the media. It is that, for the first time since 1945, a political party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development by any standards and it deserves some analysis ... the 1983 Labour manifesto commanded the loyalty of millions of voters and a democratic socialist bridge-head in public understanding and support can be made.

Tony Benn

It was inevitable and understandable that the election of Jeremy Corbyn would be a massive culture shock for some sections of the party, especially some members of the parliamentary Labour party.

John McDonnell

History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.

Jeanette Winterson

I hope you have read the election programme of the Labour Party...this is not socialism. It is Bolshevism run mad.

Edward Snowden

Our problem in the 2015 general election was that for all the good stuff that was in the Labour manifesto, we were still going to be freezing public sector wages, cutting council expenditure, laying off civil servants. We were offering 'austerity light' instead of a real alternative.

Jeremy Corbyn

We are all in the Labour party because we want the Labour party to be a vehicle for social change. There is a thirst for debate in the party, and all those who have joined haven't joined without a purpose.

Jeremy Corbyn
