	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Keir Hardie
		Keir Hardie was born in 1856, the illegitimate son of Mary Keir, a servant from Legbrannock in Lanarkshire.
		Hardie hit the headlines in 1894 when after an explosion at a colliery in Pontypridd which killed 251 miners, he asked that a message of condolence to the relatives of the victims be added to an address of congratulations on the birth of a royal heir (the future Edward VIII).
		Hardie spent the next five years of his life building up the Labour movement and speaking at various public meetings; he was arrested at a woman's suffrage meeting in London, but the Home Secretary, concerned about arresting the leader of the ILP, ordered his release.

	James Kier Hardy
		Hardie began to read newspapers and discovered how some workers were attempting to improve their wages and working conditions by forming trade unions.
		Hardie was defeated in the 1895 General Election and over the next five years devoted most of his energy to improving the organisation of the Independent Labour Party.
		Hardie was elected leader of the party in the House of Commons, but was not very good with dealing with internal rivalries within the party, and in 1908 resigned from the post.

	James Keir Hardie
		Hardie remained friends with atheists such as Eleanor Marx and Frederich Engels, the dominant influence on his political ideas were his religious beliefs.
		In June 1894, Hardie suggested to the House of Commons that a message of condolence to the relatives of the 251 coal miners killed by an explosion in a colliery near Pontypridd, Wales, should be added to an address of congratulations on the birth of a royal heir (the future Edward VIII).
		Hardie moved an amendment to this address, crying out that over two hundred and fifty men and boys had been killed on the same day in a mining disaster, and claiming that this great tragedy needed the attention of the House of Commons far more than the birth of any baby.

		Sylvia shared platforms with James Connolly and Jim Larkin, was active in publicising the growth of the shop stewards’ movement, was the first British socialist to welcome and publicise the Russian Revolution and among the first to draw attention to the dangers of Mussolini’s fascism.
		She certainly merits a place in the canons of the British socialism and ranks alongside such contemporaries as George Lansbury and Keir Hardie.
		What emerges clearly is that Pankhurst was not a "bit player" - she was an initiator and a leader in her own right and made a substantial contribution as one of the first propagandists for Bolshevism in Britain.

		In parliament, each motion was given only a certain time for debate, so opponents at that time could 'talk out' a bill - going on at huge length so that there was no time for other people to put their point of view, and the debate had to be abandoned.
		Keir Hardie was angry that the Pankhursts had destroyed his motion, and eventually the Labour MPs split with the Suffragettes.
		Keir Hardie, Bernard Shaw, Israel Zangwill, Mrs Thomas Hardy, and Mrs H. Wells were among those who rode in four-in-hand coaches at the heads of processions.

	Re: Utter utter utter bull.
		I think some of the earlier ones fell - wasn't Kier Hardie shunted out of the leadership way back c1907?
		But it's true - most Labour leaders ultimately escaped by jumping before they were pushed.
		Ramsay MacDonald, Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan, Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock would all probably have been deposed had they not stepped down from the leadership when they did - MacDonald especially.

		It was not therefore coincidental that Socialism and Trades Unionism saw a fertile breeding ground in the area, and in 1910 the Openshaw Socialists were formed, with Kier Hardie (founder of the Labour Party) as their inaugural guest speaker.
		Annie Lee went on to become Manchester's first socialist woman alderman in 1936, having been secretary of the Openshaw Independent Labour Party since its earliest days in the 1890s.
