One hundred years ago the Labour Party formed its first (minority) government.
Posted below are a selection of articles from the Socialist Standard from that period covering both the 1923 General Election and the duration (and aftermath) of that first Labour administration:
February 1924 Editorial - A "Socialist" Government
March 1924 Editorial - Peace At Any Price!
April 1924 Fake Labour Government. The puppet show.
June 1924 The Fraud of Reform.
July 1924 The Capitalist Housing Bill.
July 1924 The Labour Party Votes for Strike-Smashing Bill.
August 1924 Editorial - Labour Rules The Empire With Bombs and Bullets. *
September 1924 Editorial - Reparations or Revolution.
November 1924 Editorial - The Great Sham Fight at the Polls
December 1924 How Labour Ruled Mespot.
April 1925 A review of "The Diplomacy of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald".
August 1929 Mr. Wheatley's Lapse.
*Particularly relevant and perhaps worth underlining at the moment is the bombing of tribesmen in Iraq showing that Starmer is respecting Labour’s ignoble record in supporting actions like the bombing of the Houthi’s today.
