That Mrs Kinnock, where is she now?

Article Abstract:

After defeat at the General Election on Apr 9 1992, Glennys Kinnock was upset and felt the country was missing out, but after a few weeks she accepted it. She feels that there was nothing wrong with the campaign, although more money would have helped. She blames the tabloid press for swaying the undecided during the last week. Her worries about the Conservative affect on education and other policies are becoming reality. She teaches two days a week, chairs the charity One World Action and is beginning a book of interviews about women's apparent lack of interest in politics.

'When you've played the supportive role for so many years, it's difficult to bring out the bit of you that shines.' (Elizabeth Smith, wife of late Labour party leader John Smith)(Interview)

Article Abstract:

The wives of public figures often see themselves in a solely supportive role, and they can find it hard to establish their own identity if their husband dies, according to Elizabeth Smith, wife of the late Labour party leader John Smith. She is now exploring her own interests, and is launching a scheme to bring parliamentarians from Russia to the UK to see democracy in action. She also plans the John Smith Democratic Programme, which will unite young people in their early thirties from emerging democracies around the world.

One hour, precisely, with Glenys Kinnock

Article Abstract:

The wife of the Labour leader is vivacious and articulate, but modifies her exuberance for interviews. She works for the charity One World Action and has just visited South Africa. A teacher, she feels African children suffer inequality through intentionally inferior schooling. She believes in every individual's potential to surpass expectations through state education, health and housing. She refers to her husband's courage and intellect and cannot wait to move into 10 Downing Street.
