This article applies the methodology of the ‘high politics’ school to Labour history between 1950 and 1955, seeking to draw out the power-political, rather than the ideological, aspect of the internal conflict that occurred during this period – an aspect which has sometimes been overshadowed in existing accounts. It uses a combination of official party sources and, particularly, material such as diaries in order to examine afresh how politicians conceived of their actions at what is often seen as a high point of ideologically driven factionalism. It concludes by suggesting the merits of a closer integration of this approach within Labour party history
