Joseph Laniel wound up bravely by demanding that the Deputies vote flatly for him or against him, saying that it would be better to have a Cabinet crisis then & there, rather than another weak vote (marred by abstentions), such as the one that preceded Bermuda.

Clement Attlee could find nothing more severe to say than that Churchill had returned from Bermuda "a Father Christmas without presents." All was quiet, except for the area around Nye Bevan. Churchill's favorite target on the left. During his speech, Churchill remarked that "it would be a great pity if . . . relations between Britain and the United States . . . were to be increasingly expressed in what I might call Bevanite-McCarthy terms...
