Professor John Samuel Shepherd (5 May 1942–20 November 2024)
A Rebel with a Cause
Eric Heffer, who rose to the top of the Labour Party’s left-wing hierarchy in the 1970s and 1980s, spent much of his early political career in the Communist Party of Great Britain and, after being expelled in 1948, in the Socialist Workers’ Federation, an anti-Communist Party Marxist organization. Heffer relinquished his Marxism in the late 1950s but continued to support the hard-left section of the Labour Party and the Trotskyist Militant organi…

The Independent Labour Party, 1914–1939
Historians of political history are fascinated by the rise and fall of political parties and, for twentieth-century Britain, most obviously the rise of the Labour Party and the decline of the Liberal Party. What is often overlooked in this political development is the work of the Independent Labour Party (ILP), which was a formative influence in the growth of the political Labour movement and its leaders in the late nineteenth century and the ear…
The Roadhouse Comes to Britain
During the inter-war years, Britain experienced considerable social change, not least with the development of the motor age which transformed the social relationships of the road and offered increased opportunities for leisure. This book by David W. Gutzke and Michael John Law deals with one, almost forgotten, aspect of such changes, the emergence of the roadhouses, which offered an American-type institution to Britain, and particularly London, f…

Mates, The Great Labour Unrest: Rank-and-File Movements and Political Change in the Durham Coalfield ( Manchester: Manchester University Press 2016) At the beginning of World War I, the Durham Miners' Association (dma) had more than 100,000 members and was a major affiliate of the powerful Miners' Fe…
King Solomon's mines cannot compare with the money that has been raked in by greyhound racing’
Greyhound racing emerged in Britain in 1926 and, during its first quarter of a century, was subject to institutional middle-class opposition because of the legal gambling opportunities it offered to the working class. Much maligned as a dissipate and impoverishing activity it was in fact a significant leisure opportunity for the working class, which cost little for the minority of bettors involved in what was clearly no more than a ‘bit of a flut…

The Labour Party and the Politics of War and Peace 1900–1924 – By Paul Bridgen
The Labour Party and the Politics of War and Peace 1900–1924 . By Paul Bridgen . The Royal Historical Society. Boydell . 2009 . xii + 223 pp. £50.00/$95.00 . The foreign policy of the Labour Party from 1900 to 1924 forms a small part of current historiographical debates on Labour Party history. Many historians have examined the party's ‘thinking about peace and war’ (p. 5) and have assumed that it was driven by an ‘unsophisticated “idealistic” ap…

A Fair Day's Wage for a Fair Day's Work? Sweated Labour and the Origins of Minimum Wage Legislation in Britain By Sheila Blackburn
There Ought not to be One Law for the Rich and Another for the Poor which Is the Case To‐day’
This article examines the way in which the Labour Party moved from a position of outright opposition to gambling and gaming towards one of relative toleration and acceptance. This sea change began seriously in 1931 when many of the early Labour MPs, who were influenced by the anti‐gambling sentiments of the Nonconformists and the Free Churches, lost their seats in the general election. The changing attitude to gambling was further fuelled by a se…
Marxism in Britain
Since the Second World War, Marxism in Britain has declined almost to the point of oblivion. The Communist Party of Great Britain had more than 50,000 members in the early 1940s, but less than 5,000 when it disbanded in 1991. Dissenting and Trotskyist organisations experienced a very similar decline, although there has been a late flowering of Marxism in Scotland. Based on the Communist Party archives at Manchester, this text examines the decline…

Waking up to the Fact that there are any Unemployed’
This article examines unemployment among married women within the context of evolving government policy rather than from a gender or feminist perspective. It establishes how, during the inter‐war years, government policy towards women's unemployment developed in line with the ideas of female‐dominated voluntary bodies and was only of fringe interest to the state. In particular, it stresses that a small number of middle‐class women shaped official…
The Evolution of British Social Policy and the Welfare State, c. 1800-1993
The Guild of Help and the changing face of Edwardian philanthropy
The Guild of Help was formed at Bradford in 1904 with the idea of introducing a new, more community-based, approach to deal with the increasingly important problem of poverty. It emerged to overcome the failures of charity and the threat of increased state intervention, seeking instead to get all the community to take responsibility for the poor. The movement spread rapidly and soon became a major constituent of voluntary urban relief in Britain.…

The Failure of Socialist Unity in Britain c. 1893–1914
SOCIALIST unity became an issue for the British left with in a year of the formation of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF) in 1884. The secession of William Morris and his supporters from the SDF and the formation of the Socialist League in reaction to the autocratic leadership of Henry Mayers Hyndman brought about a fundamental division within British socialism. Subsequently the creation of other socialist parties, most particularly the Inde…
