About five years ago, we attended Russell's parents' 70th wedding anniversary, where the groom, Ben, at a mere 96 years old, rose to say a few words. He recalled the Depression, their service during the war, struggles, the cost of buying your house relative to wages, and the many accomplishments of every single Labour Government, carefully crafted to remain within the brief of an actual anniversary speech. He expressed hope that soon there would be other Labour Governments—ones that would tackle the unenviable challenges that the great-grandchildren gathered that day would face. A wee dram has since been raised in remembrance, but the impact that Labour has on real people's lives and how much that impact means to people when they look back and when they take stock is what drives my commitment.
