LIbel[edit]

I recall the unsuccesful ibel action of 1988 led to Michael Meachers bankruptcy, can someone research newspapers of the time for a reference.(86.148.219.221 01:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Various controversies[edit]

As there appear to be controversial issues, pertaining to the leadsership race & claims to socialism, a separate section may be in order. However, such claims must be cited, and cannot consitute conclusions being drawn on the behalf of the editor - Tiswas^(t/c) 14:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

he is also quoted in the movie zeitgeist at some point, can anyone verify this maybe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.217.67.12 (talk) 23:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conspiracy theories[edit]

Can we expect to see the various terrifying conspiracy theories that Meacher believes in included in this article. His electorate deserves to know he's... um... different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.155.158.147 (talk) 09:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Longevity in office[edit]

Am I correct in thinking that Meacher was the only member of the Callaghan ministry who survived to hold office under Blair? If so this should be noted. Intelligent Mr Toad 2 (talk) 08:18, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, e.g. Gavin Strang. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:43, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
