...what of Bevan? As of now, Attlee securely holds the party's reins. But many observers, including Lord Beaverbrook's stoutly Tory Daily Express, saw in 53-year-old Nye Bevan the real victor in this election. Despite his popularity in his own constituency, his antics had undoubtedly scared many Liberals into voting Tory. "He can claim," said the Daily Express, "to have brought the Tories to office on terms they may well find embarrassing and unprofitable. In opposition, his star will rise still higher...
...Tories from Socialists. In fact, there are two all-important differences: 1) the difference between the man who believes in free enterprise, and only imposes controls when he sees no alternative, and the man who believes in state ownership and planning for their own sake; 2) the presence of Nye Bevan.

Instead of starring for the rebels, Nye-who hopes to win the election after next, and doesn't want the blame if the Socialists lose this time-stepped up to praise Attlee, not to bury him. But it was still Bevan the rebel...
...Scarborough to have an argument. But that argument has now been replaced by a bigger argument. I have been fighting the Tory all my life ever since I was a nipper. Once we are returned to the House of Commons, we can resume that other argument." With that, fighting Nye addressed himself to the faults of Winston Churchill and the sins of the Tories. In the Arcadia cinema next door, Attlee murmured: "We may have our differences; we may have our disputes, but we all have the same aim . . . the brotherhood...
