Lord Hailsham departs Downing Street following news of British victory in the Falklands War, and says: “Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tua da gloriam.” (Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory). He tells journalists to "put that down and write it!"

Harold Wilson reflects on going up against Harold Macmillan in the House of Commons. The elder Harold, looking on, seems glad his Labour successor has understood his tactics so well.

"Both of my grandparents only ever bought their houses under Right to Buy. Even my nan who was a rabid socialist and thought that Margaret Thatcher did more harm than Hitler..." In the latest Since Attlee and Churchill - The Podcast, I take issue with Burnham's conference announcement on Right to Buy.

1983: Tony Benn defeated in Bristol East When Benn says nothing but the defeat of the people of Bristol would ever have induced him to leave, he was surely hinting that, now defeated, he would look elsewhere for a constituency. The following year he stood in Chesterfield.

‘I’m sorry, you see, there it goes! I’m afraid I get too moved by these things…’ An emotional Denis Healey recalls his experiences during the Second World War, including his response to the outrageous slur that those fighting in Italy, as he was, were ‘D-Day dodgers’.

The best thing about researching the latest episode of ‘Since Attlee & Churchill’ on the history of PMQs was rewatching some of the best moments from over the years. Some highlights don’t even feature a Prime Minister - like Prescott vs Hague…

'Resign!' In November 1990, before John Major could utter his very first words at his very first PMQs, someone shouted out 'resign!' Who was it? Who else: Dennis Skinner.

‘We’ve been inseparable… in fact, I think Tony without Denis is like Torvill without Dean!’ Denis Healey campaigning for former deputy leadership rival Tony Benn in the 1984 Chesterfield by-election. Healey’s tongue-in-cheek comments earn a dramatic reaction from the props.

I agree with Speaker Weatherill... Ahead of the 1992 general election, Neil Kinnock challenged John Major to a TV debate. Major struck a confident tone as he rejected the idea before the Speaker, Bernard Weatherill, said: "This [House of Commons] is the public debate."

‘I’ll tell you what I don’t want to see.’ ‘What’s that?’ ‘Labour in power again.’ A 1979 Conservative election broadcast, with a young couple looking for the 50p stalls at the local cinema. Quite an effective ad - building on the ‘Labour isn’t working’ poster of 1978.

40 years ago this morning, an IRA bomb went off in the Grand Hotel in Brighton. 5 people were killed - including an MP - and more than 30 were hurt, some with lifechanging injuries. Remarkably, the conference continued. The prime minister opened with these words:
