| I would have thought the unions' first interest should still be holding James Hardie to the spirit and structure of Friday's announcement. |
|
| It was a half-hearted attempt to draw level and one which referee Colin Hardie rightfully ignored. |
|
| By 1914 Hardie was the revered elder statesman of the party. |
|
| Hardie was a dedicated Georgist for a number of years and a member of the Scottish Land Restoration League. |
|
| His mother, Mary Keir, was a domestic servant and his stepfather, David Hardie, was a ship's carpenter. |
|
| Before long, Hardie was looked to by other miners as a logical chairman for their meetings and spokesman for their grievances. |
|
| Three weeks later, Hardie was chosen by the miners as their delegate to a National Conference of Miners to be held in Glasgow. |
|
| As part of the natural order of things, Hardie joined the Liberal Association, in which he was active. |
|
| The Liberals decided not to field a candidate, but at the same time not to offer Hardie any assistance. |
|
| I didn't know at the time, but the person who exposed the harsh conditions at Lord Overtoun's plant was James Keir Hardie. |
|
| The Labour Representation Committee was founded with Keir Hardie as its leader. |
|
| Hardie started work at the age of seven, but was rigorously educated at home by his parents, and later attended night school. |
|
| One of the buildings at Swansea University is also named after him, while a main distributor road in Sunderland is named the Keir Hardie Way. |
|
| In recognition of his work as a lay preacher, the Keir Hardie Methodist Church in London bears his name. |
|
| Hardie subsequently was a leading figure in the development of the Labour Party. |
|
| Like many of the party's initial members, Hardie had previously been involved in the Scottish Land Restoration League. |
|
| Hardie became the party's Secretary, while George Mitchell was the first Treasurer and Cunninghame Graham was the President. |
|
| A sitting independent MP and prominent union organiser, Keir Hardie, became its first chairman. |
|
| It proved to be the foundation conference of the Independent Labour Party and MP Keir Hardie was elected as its first chairman. |
|
| None was elected, however, with even the popular party leader Keir Hardie going to defeat in a straight fight with the Conservatives. |
|
|
|
| One of the first two Labour MPs to be elected to parliament was the Scot Keir Hardie, for Merthyr Tydfil constituency. |
|
| For the first decade of the twentieth century Merthyr was represented by the unusual combination of David Alfred Thomas and Hardie. |
|
| The presiding officer and chairperson of the council is The Rt Wp The Mayor Cllr Colin Hardie. |
|
| The first winner was Daniel Tatton, and he was succeeded in 2011 by Bethanie Hardie. |
|
| For example, in R v Hardie Mr Hardie took his girlfriend's Valium, because she had just kicked him out and he was depressed. |
|
| This year is the centenary of the founding of the Parliamentary Labour Party with Keir Hardie as its first chair. |
|
| The UK parliament's first Labour Party MP, Keir Hardie was elected from the area and the Valleys remain a stronghold of Labour Party power. |
|
| Hardie came off Dark Tsarina on the final bend after the Michael Madgwick-trained filly appeared to clip heels with a horse in front of her. |
|
| In 1908, Hardie resigned as leader of the Labour Party and was replaced by Arthur Henderson. |
|
| Hardie spent the rest of his life campaigning for votes for women and developing a closer relationship with Sylvia Pankhurst. |
|
| Instead, Hardie wore a plain tweed suit, a red tie and a deerstalker. |
|
| In Parliament, Hardie advocated a graduated income tax, free schooling, pensions, the abolition of the House of Lords and for women's right to vote. |
|
| The request was refused and Hardie made a speech attacking the monarchy, which almost predicted the nature of the future king's marriage which caused his abdication. |
|
| In 1900, Hardie organised a meeting of various trade unions and socialist groups and they agreed to form a Labour Representation Committee and so the Labour Party was born. |
|
| Hardie also began to attend night school in Holytown at this time. |
|
| Hardie was active in the strike wave which swept the region in 1880, including a generalised strike of the mines of Lanarkshire that summer which lasted six weeks. |
|
| A pacifist, Hardie was appalled by the First World War and along with socialists in other countries he tried to organise an international general strike to stop the war. |
|
| In 1887, Hardie launched a new publication called The Miner. |
|
| Keir Hardie Crescent in Kilwinning in Scotland is also named after him. |
|
| Ty Keir Hardie, in his constituency town of Merthyr Tydfil, housed offices for Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and adjoins the Civic Centre on Castle Street. |
|
|
|
| There is also in Merthyr Tydfil a Keir Hardie Estate with streets named after prominent early Independent Labour leaders such as Wallhead and Glasier. |
|
| Her other political inspirations include Keir Hardie and Margo MacDonald. |
|
| I've been a fan of Emma Hardie since the brand was launched and have enthused about her Moringa Cleansing Balm so it was great to meet the woman herself. |
|
| Thomas Halliday contested Merthyr as a 'labour' candidate as early as 1874 and the return of Keir Hardie in 1900 was a notable landmark in the growth of the Labour Party. |
|
| The diverse factions had very different perspectives on the party's future, but were able to agree a programme, largely based on a draft by Hardie. |
|
| Relations between Thomas and Morgan were not good, leading ultimately to a Liberal split which contributed to the success of James Keir Hardie at the 1900 General Election. |
