Roy Hattersley:50 Years on: Prejudiced History of Britain Since the War
"Deep down Michael knew he wasn't Prime Ministerial material. He had done a much better job than many people expected but he wasn't that kind of personality. As a campaigner he was unbeatable but as a largely impotent chief executive he was the proverbial square peg in the round hole.
Let me make this clear though. Michael Foot's tenure as Prime Minister will do down in history as an heroic one. His policies helped to reduce inflation to manageable levels and restore international confidence in the country paving the way for a more moderate 1980's then one might have feared"
