Loony left
The Loony Left was a pejorative label used in the campaign for the United Kingdom general election, 1987, and subsequently, both by the Conservative Party and by British newspapers that supported the Conservative Party. The label was directed at the policies and actions of some Labour Party controlled inner-city local government authorities, and some Labour Party politicians. Although the labels "hard left" and "soft left" reflected a genuine political division within the Labour Party, "Loony Left" was by far the more often used label than either. While academics have depicted the era as of the "new urban left" as a throwback to earlier municipal militancy, wider media coverage tended to focus on the personalties of city leaders such as the GLC's Ken Livingstone and Liverpool's Derek Hatton.
