 Welcome to the Conservative Party Shop in association with Politico's
Peter Kilfoyle's victory in the Liverpool Walton by-election in July 1991 - routing Lesley Mahmood, the candidate backed by the Militant Tendency - proved a turning point in the history of the Labour Party, as well as a new beginning for Liverpool itself.
It also proved the death knell of the unnaceptable face of socialism epitomised in the 1980s by the charismatic figure of Derek Hatton, whose flamboyant style and defience of official Labour policy while deputy leader of Liverpool City Council had made him one of the most controvercial and vilified political figures in the land.
Kilfoyle also describes the reasons behind his decision to resign from Tony Blair’s government.

 Militant Tendency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Militant reacted to the continued witch hunt by standing Lesley Mahmood as a candidate against Kilfoyle in the 1991 Knowsley parliamentary by-election, giving the Labour Party the further excuse to extend its purges.
Many Labour figures saw the Militant tendency as a primary reason for their "loony left" image, as portrayed by the right-wing press, although most of the councils attacked as 'loony' were in fact influenced by the soft-left ideas of Tribune.
The Militant, who claimed to be nothing more than readers of a newspaper, were alleged to be members of a Leninist political party, with an elected central committee and an internal regime based on democratic centralism.
