EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history when former British Prime Minister Tony Blair took time out of his busy schedule to engage with students from Belvedere School in Toxteth, Liverpool. The two bright young minds, Frances Morris and Eleanor Reid, were selected to participate in a prestigious debate organized by the Cambridge University Students Union on the motion "This House Believes Labour Is The Answer". Eleanor shared her excitement about meeting Mr. Blair, recounting how they initially wrote to the Labour Party seeking information about their policies. To their surprise and delight, they received a call inviting them to meet Tony Blair himself. She described him as pleasant and approachable, noting his firm handshake and warm smile that he generously bestowed upon everyone. However, despite this memorable encounter with one of Britain's most influential politicians at the time, Eleanor admitted that she had not yet made up her mind regarding whether she would vote for him or not. Taken on February 11th, 1995 by Liverpool Echo photographer (not associated with any company mentioned), this photograph is a testament to the power of education and engagement in shaping political perspectives. It serves as a reminder of an era when young voices were valued and given opportunities to interact directly with prominent figures like Tony Blair during debates that shaped national discourse.
