" Foot joined the Labour Party and first stood for parliament at the age of 22 in the 1935 general election, when he contested Monmouth.

During this election Foot criticised the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, for seeking rearmament.

Foot fought the Plymouth Devonport constituency in the 1945 general election.

Following Labour's 1979 general election defeat by Margaret Thatcher, James Callaghan remained party leader for the next 18 months before he resigned and Foot was elected Labour leader on 4 November 1980, beating Denis Healey in the second round of the leadership election ( the last leadership contest to involve only Labour MPs ).

Critically, Labour held on in a subsequent by-election in Darlington and Foot remained leader for the 1983 general election.

The Daily Mirror was the only major newspaper to back Foot and Labour at the 1983 general election, urging its readers to vote Labour and " Stop the waste of our nation, for your job your children and your future " in response to the mass unemployment that had resulted from Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher's monetarist economic policies to reduce inflation.

Foot resigned days after the election and was succeeded as leader on 2 October by Neil Kinnock, who had been tipped from the outset to be Labour's choice of new leader.

Foot took a back seat in Labour politics after 1983 and retired from the House of Commons at the 1992 general election, when Labour lost to the Tories ( now led by John Major ) for the fourth election in succession, but remained politically active.

He remained as Education spokesman following the resignation of Callaghan as party leader and the election of Michael Foot as his successor in late 1980.

Shortly after Labour's hefty election defeat in June 1983, the almost 70-year-old Michael Foot resigned as leader and from the outset it was expected that Kinnock would succeed him.

Michael Foot, as the only remaining MP from the 1945 election between 1987 and 1992, was never Father of the House because he was out of Parliament between 1955 and a by-election in 1960.

In the third ballot on 5 April, Callaghan defeated Foot in a parliamentary vote of 176 to 137, thus becoming Wilson's successor as Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party, and remained prime minister until May 1979, when Labour lost the general election to the Conservatives and Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first female prime minister.

In a keynote speech to the Labour Party Conference of 1980, shortly before the resignation of party leader James Callaghan and election of Michael Foot as successor, Benn outlined what he envisaged the next Labour Government would do.

In the period since Benn's defeat in Bristol, Michael Foot had stepped down after the general election in June 1983 ( which saw Labour return a mere 209 MPs ) and was succeeded in October of that year by Neil Kinnock.

Healey was elected deputy leader to the newly-elected Labour leader Michael Foot, but the next year was challenged by Tony Benn under the new election system, which included individual members and trade unions.

He was retained in the shadow cabinet by Neil Kinnock, who succeeded Foot after the disastrous 1983 general election, when the Tories bolstered their majority and Labour suffered their worst general election result in decades.

Meanwhile, the Labour Party had shifted dramatically to the left since the election in 1980 of Michael Foot as party leader, and as much as Mrs Thatcher's Conservative government was controversial, many people were just as opposed to the election of a Labour government led by Michael Foot.

The Alliance came under heavy criticism from the defeated Labour Party leader Michael Foot in the aftermath of the 1983 election ; he condemned them for " siphoning " support away from the Labour Party and enabling the Conservatives to win more seats.
