For a hundred years Labour has been one of the two great political parties of Great Britain. It may have governed less often than the Conservatives but it has long been established as a major force in our politics.
Its first prime minister, who led a short-lived Labour minority government in 1923, was Ramsay MacDonald, the illegitimate son of a farm labourer and a housemaid.
Labour’s next prime minister was Clement Attlee, whose post-war administration introduced the National Health Service, and (foolishly) nationalised key industries. He was the public school and Oxford-educated son of a wealthy solicitor.
That 1945-51 Labour government showed how the party was a successful coalition of middle-class intellectuals and working-class doers. On the one hand, there was Stafford Cripps, product of Winchester. On the other, Ernest Bevin, who was born in poverty in Somerset and left school at the age of 11.
