In 1943 the Tory Quentin Hogg said ‘If you don’t give the people social reform, they will give you social revolution.’ in 45 the army was near open mutiny, Attlee is never all we think him to be, whoever won in 45 would gave had to do similar, much of the work for it had been done during the war.

I’m not holding Attlee up as a hero but what he did after the war made a real difference when real change was needed. In an GE where the most unpopular opposition leader ever has a clear win there is the opportunity to give people real change and not continuation of the last 45 years
