"We're alright!" - Neil Kinnock's Infamous Pre-Election Sheffield Rally (1992)

[@123brownjames]

This is the reason why Starmer will keep scthum till polling day.

[@SteveDavis-gc2pp]

The minute he started shouting ‘we’re alright’ I knew the British public wouldn’t have it and he’d be out on his ear. Starmers ming vase strategy will give him a landslide

[@davidreeson3741]

You, Sir, have it spot on. Was just showing this to my 19y/o having seen Kinnock on ITV and discussed the Ming Vase all week. We’re that nerdy 😂

[@walesdad]

They night Kinnock blew it big time.

[@johnmaskell8474]

he was an utter complete clown.

[@OohTarquin]

Man of the people Lord Kinnock 😮

[@JJFHNREHJEDK]

Didn't look primemisterial at all. Just weird and cringey.

[@johnmaskell8474]

what a clown the windbag was.

[@johnmaskell8474]

he was hopeless, oh how i laughed on election night,

[@patchpeek]

Remember watching this on NewsAtTen and knew the 'welsh wind bag' was was gonna lose. Crass

[@DofTF]

The man was a buffoon, It Turned out not to be "We're All Right"

[@wilsonfisk6626]

0:50 Blair in the background looking clueless.

[@PC1974]

That car crash speech gave John Major the keys to No.10.

[@simony2801]

The Welsh windbag was toasted.

[@LeighRichards27]

Er nice myth but no basis in reality. Labour's private polling was already showing labour had fallen behind the Tories before this rally. Kinnock's peroration's in Sheffield had no impact on the election result

[@chriswatson3464]

Maybe, the sun, socialism and other things.

[@rachel.mcgowan]

So the story goes anyway. It probably had a very limited impact. John Major was perceived as a much more moderate PM than Thatcher and this let him capture a lot of swing voter types. While still being Tory enough for the right-wing part of the electorate.

[@PC1974]

@eightiesmusic1984 Oooh fatuous is it? Someone swallowed a dictionary. 🙄

[@TT_1221]

He was a gift to Mrs T

[@trickydicky90]

Nevermind Boyo!!

[@zippymo672]

I bet half the folk in this hall now vote Reform or previously UKIP.

[@mrspeaker6720]

Do you have the whole event? Or the whole speech at least? It'd be cool to see

[@erniemccracken2429]

It was "Well alright!" - he was saying it to imitate something a rock star would say, given the raucous crowd.

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

If only he’d blamed the msm for recording it and showing it.

[@stevehillier7018]

Gravitas wasn’t there I’ve heard

[@simonjackson7206]

This was the moment he blew it

[@rich00cap]

Not really. The effects of this were very much overplayed after the election and not really paid much attention to during the campaign. The polls just got it badly wrong and ultimately the public just didn't trust Labour or Kinnock.

[@dominich2263]

The wake before the funeral

[@ellibod1]

This was Kinnock trying to be more than what he was.. If he hadn't done this, he would have been Prime Minister, but this made him come across as arrogant & out of touch. This is why Starmer is being so quiet, he knows that he must not do this

[@rogermoore-gd9do]

It was more than this that they lost the election Kinnock is a pillock!

[@ellibod1]

@@rogermoore-gd9do Nice rhyming

[@Kool-AidAbstainer]

1m:47s - Since this was shot the British elites have elected a new people.

[@Edgel-in6bs]

Popular myth that this cost labour the election - it didnt. It was already incredibly tight, and the UK media (especially the sun) tipped rhw result over the edge.

[@TheNotrac]

Was Madison Square Garden a repeat?

[@MagicNash89]

Cringy shouting

[@jamesmitchell8922]

What was he thinking?

[@MrGoneTroppo]

Good move from Tony Blair to hide at the back

[@Bungle-UK]

Another Labour leader who sold out his principles in the pursuit of power.

[@TheGava4]

It worked for Blair..🤷‍♂️

[@wilsonfisk6626]

​@TheGava4 yeah but Blair was always a right winger. Kinnock was hard left.

[@djjs91]

If only more Labour leaders prioritized winning elections we might not always have a Tory government

[@wilsonfisk6626]

@@djjs91 Hasn't that always been the case?

[@erniemccracken2429]

@@wilsonfisk6626 Blair wasn't a right winger in 1983 when he first became an MP. He moved right because he got tired of Labour losing elections.

[@stevevids1608]

I watched this and could actually hear the British people putting ticks in other boxes
