AFTER 1920, unemployment in Britain never dropped below one million for the whole of the inter-war years. It was a time of little hope for the working class.
Oswald Mosley declared he had the answer. He had begun his career as a young maverick Tory MP, but when the Conservative Party threatened to expel him, he left it first as an independent and then as a Labour MP.
Finding no support for his fascist ideas, Mosley resigned from Parliament to start the New Party. The handful of MPs he took with him soon deserted what was obviously a sinking ship and his New Party soon sank.
