Barnes (1859-1940) in the establishment of the International Labour Organisation in 1919. It focusses primarily on the creation of the Labour Convention (Chapter XIII, the ‘Labour Chapter’ in the Treaty of Versailles) and its adoption by the Peace Conference. It has been recorded that Barnes considered this his proudest achievement; however Labour Party historiography has not adequately taken account of his valuable contribution to the advance of social and economic justice for the world’s workers. By examining the challenges Barnes faced in his dual role as representative of British organised labour and plenipotentiary with the British Empire Delegation, the argument is made that he was particularly well suited to successfully steer the Convention through to its adoption. An understanding will be gained of the role that Barnes played as an international diplomat and spokesman for organised labour in the Peace Conference setting, and how he channelled contemporary ideas about labour’s place in the post-war world through his approach to policy. It is further argued through examination of his background, beliefs and political ideology that Barnes was an important figure of whom historians of the early Labour Party should take more account. This project aims to provide fresh insight into George N. Barnes as a trade unionist and politician and ascertain how his work in Paris helped Britain’s ‘socialist’ Labour Party achieve an image of respectability years before forming its first Government in 1924. 4 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my supervisors, Professor Pat Thane and Dr Michael Kandiah, for all of the support they have given me during this thesis. My primary supervisor, Professor Thane, gave me great help in proofreading my chapters, and provided invaluable wisdom, supervision and guidance throughout my progression. Dr Kandiah was instrumental in providing invaluable support and reassurance in completion of what can only be described as a challenging process. Special thanks must go to Dr Virginia Preston, for her understanding, patience and encouragement. I met Dr Preston in 2010 while I was an undergraduate at University of Westminster, and through her I interned with the Institute for Contemporary British History at King’s College and its Witness Seminar programme, where I also completed my Master’s Degree. Research Fellow Dr Matthew Glencross is also owed a tremendous debt of gratitude for his support and camaraderie throughout this project. I would also like to give thanks to University of Westminster’s lecturers and teaching staff for providing such instrumental guidance and encouragement during my entry into academic life as a mature student: Professor Mark Clapson, Dr Martin Doherty, Dr Peter Speiser (and of course, Veronica Speiser), Dr Richard Barbook, Dr Bridget Cotter, and Rob McMaster. I would also like to thank the patient staff at the National Archives and the British Library for their assistance in navigating their tremendous catalogues of material, and also the staff at the Parliamentary Archives, London Metropolitan University, and the Maughan and Senate House Libraries in London. I am deeply grateful to Jacques Rodriguez and the staff at the ILO Archive in Geneva for their help and hospitality. In New York, the archivists and staff at Columbia’s Butler Library and 5 Acknowledgements the New York Public Library provided me with a quiet haven to work in as well as access to their rare materials collections. This project is the result of nearly six years’ work. During that time life gave no quarter and it sometimes appeared as though this thesis would remain a collection of half-completed chapters and thousands of pages of random notes and developing ideas. I must thank my family, Deanna Gemmill and Jonathan Strauss, for their constant encouragement during stressful times, and Milton Strauss, Ph.D, for reassuring me that self-doubt and ‘imposter syndrome’ are normal and persistent parts of academic life. Very special thanks go to my former KCL / ICBH MA colleagues and dear friends Samantha Martin, Tiffany Beebe and Sandra Keen whom have remained sources of inspiration. Finally, I could not have completed this thesis without the love and support of my friends, my extended family: Dr Mary C. Greenfield, Jack Rabid, Eric Keil, Robert Weeks, Barbara Taylor, Carolyne Worman, Ulrika Froberg, Phil Dyson, Donna Henry, Simon Billenness, Ann Corbett, Christine von Royce, Donna Argentina, Laura Zeitlin, Jesse Malin, Cid Scantlebury, and Daisy Jean Undercuffler. 6 Commonly used abbreviations Commonly used abbreviations: AEU Amalgamated Engineering Union AFL American Federation of Labor BED British Empire Delegation COL Columbia University (Rare Book and Manuscript Library) DLG David Lloyd George GNB George N.

Barnes steered the Labour Convention for the International Labour Organisation through thirty-six sittings of the international Labour Commission, securing its adoption by the plenary Peace Conference for insertion into the Peace Treaty. Labour Party histories have often considered this his proudest achievement, but no monograph exists in relation to his diplomatic work at Versailles. Although the trade unionist Barnes was instrumental in the Labour Party’s creation, relatively little is known him about and the historiography tends to focus on his stint as Labour member of the David Lloyd George Coalition,

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

  • Research Note: Former Special Advisers in Cabinet, 1979-2013
    Research Note: Former Special Advisers in Cabinet, 1979-2013 Executive Summary Sixteen special advisers have gone on to become Cabinet Ministers. This means that of the 492 special advisers listed in the Constitution Unit database in the period 1979-2010, only 3% entered Cabinet. Seven Conservative party Cabinet members were formerly special advisers. o Four Conservative special advisers went on to become Cabinet Ministers in the 1979-1997 period of Conservative governments. o Three former Conservative special advisers currently sit in the Coalition Cabinet: David Cameron, George Osborne and Jonathan Hill. Eight Labour Cabinet members between 1997-2010 were former special advisers. o Five of the eight former special advisers brought into the Labour Cabinet between 1997-2010 had been special advisers to Tony Blair or Gordon Brown. o Jack Straw entered Cabinet in 1997 having been a special adviser before 1979. One Liberal Democrat Cabinet member, Vince Cable, was previously a special adviser to a Labour minister. The Coalition Cabinet of January 2013 currently has four members who were once special advisers. o Also attending Cabinet meetings is another former special adviser: Oliver Letwin as Minister of State for Policy. There are traditionally 21 or 22 Ministers who sit in Cabinet. Unsurprisingly, the number and proportion of Cabinet Ministers who were previously special advisers generally increases the longer governments go on. The number of Cabinet Ministers who were formerly special advisers was greatest at the end of the Labour administration (1997-2010) when seven of the Cabinet Ministers were former special advisers. The proportion of Cabinet made up of former special advisers was greatest in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet when almost one-third (30.5%) of the Cabinet were former special advisers.

  • The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, C. 193 1-1951
    The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, c. 193 1-1951 ABIGAIL LOUISA BEACH University College London Thesis presented for the degree of PhD University of London June 1996 I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development and articulation of ideas of citizenship by the Labour Party and its sympathizers in academia and the professions. Setting this analysis within the context of key policy debates the study explores how ideas of citizenship shaped critiques of the relationships between central government and local government, voluntary groups and the individual. Present historiographical orthodoxy has skewed our understanding of Labour's attitude to society and the state, overemphasising the collectivist nature and centralising intentions of the Labour party, while underplaying other important ideological trends within the party. In particular, historical analyses which stress the party's commitment from the 1930s to achieving the transition to socialism through a strategy of planning, (of industrial development, production, investment, and so on), have generally concluded that the party based its programme on a centralised, expert-driven state, with control removed from the grasp of the ordinary people. The re-evaluation developed here questions this analysis and, fundamentally, seeks to loosen the almost overwhelming concentration on the mechanisms chosen by the Labour for the implementation of policy. It focuses instead on the discussion of ideas that lay behind these policies and points to the variety of opinions on the meaning and implications of social and economic planning that surfaced in the mid-twentieth century Labour party. In particular, it reveals considerable interest in the development of an active and participatory citizenship among socialist thinkers and politicians, themes which have hitherto largely been seen as missing elements in the ideas of the interwar and immediate postwar Labour party.
