This irresolute performance was the biggest blow to Gaitskell's prestige since he took over leadership from Clem Attlee 15 months ago. Ex-Tyneside Miner Billie Blyton in an angry speech declared he had never seen such "knock-kneed" leadership in his life, and once again there were many to say that Nye Be van (now living it up on a tour of India) was, after all, the party's best choice for leadership.

Marx wrote on political developments in England, France, Spain, the Middle and Far East, "the whole world, as seen from his Soho garret." Editor Greeley, notes Author Hale, "was a perennial twister of the British lion's tail," and had an eager accomplice, in Anglophobe Marx. Some of Marx's bitterest tirades for the Tribune, e.g., his dispatch on the plight of British workers during the depressed...
