Labour’s Economic Ideology Since 1900: Developed Through Crises . By Christopher Kirkland
This book charts the evolution of Labour’s economic ideology from the early twentieth century to the present day. It does so by drawing principally on a diverse range of secondary works, supplemented by the author’s own reading of policy documents and works of economic thought by leading Labour thinkers. Its central theme is the ways in which the party’s economic ideas were forged in response to different economic and political crises. The impact…

G uy O rtolano . Thatcher’s Progress: From Social Democracy to Market Liberalism through an English New Town
For the historian to write about Milton Keynes, observes Guy Ortolano in this important and highly erudite book, is “to turn an object of scorn into an object of study” (24). Founded in 1967 under the New Towns Act of 1965, this was one of the last “Mark III” new towns, distinct from their earlier postwar predecessors, when the zeal for expert-led planning and architectural modernism was fresher and less exposed to attack. By the 1970s, to its cr…
The Persistence of Character in Twentieth-century British Politics
Politicians across parties repeatedly agreed that their visions of social improvement rested as much on the promotion of character virtues as on the efficacy of economic systems. Character posed recurring political dilemmas. Ideological dispute over character, as to whether it is formed best through individual exertion or collective support, lies at the heart of the division of politics between right and left. Further, the limits to the people’s …
The centre in British politics since 1906
The modern British ideological centre has been neglected and its impact underestimated. This article highlights the persistence of the centre's moderating influence and its progressive, indeed at times radical, contribution. This ideological dynamism emanated from centrists' synthesis of objectives often considered to conflict. Notably, centrists sought social justice alongside individual aspiration, albeit that this cross-ideological marriage wa…
Roy Jenkins and the Politics of Radical Moderation
In light of the frequent contention, amidst Brexit and associated populism, that British politics needs to become both ideologically ‘bolder’, and better connected with a neglected public, the seemingly archetypally elitist centrist Roy Jenkins may seem a curiously outmoded subject. This assumption appears shared by historians, who have neglected him. However, this article suggests that if Jenkins was indeed a self‐described ‘moderate’, like many…
Ideology in Action
This chapter explores what its author sees as three of the most important, and closely related, recent historiographical themes relating to the articulation but also the impact of British political ideas since 1800: political realities, modernity, and moralities. The chapter analyses the close connections and interplay between these three initially seemingly uncomfortable bedfellows, and argues that collectively they have produced a contemporary …
Pluralism, the People, and Time in Labour Party History, 1931–1964
Observing the increasing, yet still partial exploration of pluralism, complexity and multiplicity in recent Labour party historiography, this article pursues a pluralist approach to Labour on two central, related themes of its middle-century evolution. First, it probes the plurality of Labour's different conceptions of time, specifically how it lived with the ambiguity of simultaneously viewing social progress as both immediate and rapidly achiev…
Your Britain: Media and the Making of the Labour Party, by Laura Beers
This is an excellent study of the Labour Party's evolving attitudes to using the media and modern methods of political communication between the party's (effective) foundation in 1900 and the securing of its first, and sweeping, outright General Election victory in 1945. Taking a chronological approach, and using a wide range of contemporary Labour Party and media, especially newspaper, sources, Laura Beers charts the peaks and troughs in leading…
Equalityandfreedom: The single, the multiple and the synthesis in Labour Party thought since the 1930s
This article examines the ways in which Labour's thinkers and leading politicians since the 1930s were attracted to single and to multiple explanations and solutions. The writing of historians and political philosophers on the Labour Party's thought has tended to focus on thinkers’ approach to particular values, especially equality, or to the relationship and prioritisation between specific values, such as equality and freedom. This article, in c…

Tony Crosland and the Many Falls and Rises of British Social Democracy
There is a widely accepted declinist chronology of the career of Tony Crosland. It charts the increasing irrelevance of his ideas since his supposed revisionist magnum opus, The Future of Socialism(1956). This article suggests this narrative overrates the 1956 book, and underrates the continuing relevance of Crosland's later approach, including his adherence to the Rawlsian concept of ‘democratic equality’, and his optimistic, synthesising approa…
Psychological Socialist’; ‘Militant Moderate’: Evan Durbin and the Politics of Synthesis
Given the quality of Evan Durbin's magnum opus, The Politics of Democratic Socialism (1940), the historiographical attention to him has been slight, and focused primarily on his economic writings. This article explores his broader intellectual and political approach, focusing on three themes. First, it traces his intellectual relationships, exploring his exchanges of ideas over the importance of responsible political behaviour with his MacDonaldi…
The Labour Party and the Improvement of Minds: The Case of Tony Crosland
This article uses the broad concept of ‘improvement of minds’ to refer to the idea of improving people's sense of morality, their ability and willingness to reason, and the depth of their emotional experiences. Such an objective has been little explored in the context of the history of the British Labour party. Yet, discussion of it is worth integrating into histories of the party for two reasons. First, the goal of improving minds was a strand –…
