Tony Blair. She was the deputy party leader under John Smith before he died. Then Blair became the leader, and John Prescott the number 2.

Becket led Labour for about 2 months after Smith's death. It should be noted that shortly before he died, John Smith led Labour to to a 25-point victory in local elections. Becket then led them to a 20-point victory in European Parlimentary elections. Blair only won his first election by 12.5 points. Yeah, he really rejuvinated the party. I get sick to my stomach every time I hear that lie.
