 Morrison-Mandelson
Old Labour credentials were incongruous in 1997 and no credentials were older than Morrison's, the son of a Brixton policeman who had become secretary of the new London Labour Party in 1914, was Mayor of Hackney by 1919 and in 1922 was elected to the LCC for East Woolwich.
His first had been to Mandelson's grandmother, described by his biographers Bernard Donaghue and G.W. Jones (in Herbert Morrison: Portrait of a Politician, Wiedenfeld, 1973) as a frigid, disturbed waif who married the wrong man. However, this mismatch was the making of him: with no distractions at home, he threw himself into work.
Herbert Morrison had a clear vision that the purpose of the Festival of Britain was to "illustrate the British contribution to civilization, past, present and future, in arts, in science and technology, and in industrial design".

The shelter had its genesis in 1941 as a result of the combination of a growing understanding that an effective indoor shelter could be designed, in spite of the direction of Command Paper 5932, public hesitancy in using the uncomfortable Anderson shelter for all night alerts, and direction by Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
The Morrison Shelter was a rectangular frame approximately 6 feet 6 inches long by 4 feet wide by 2 feet 6 inches high, with a solid 1/8 inch steel plate top, welded wire mesh sides, and a metal lath mattress floor, assembled from 359 individual parts using 3 tools supplied with it.
Morrison Shelters were distributed at no cost to most people, with over 500,000 being deployed by November 1941.

 History & Policy - Policy Papers
Herbert Morrison was elected Labour Mayor of Hackney in 1920, one year after his party swept to power in a landslide victory that began a new age in London's local politics.
Morrison was sensibleness personified - pragmatic and diplomatic in his dealings with government, but of huge ambition for his party and his people, the Londoners.
But we might note in passing that Morrison fought hard for the National Health Service (NHS) to be devolved to, and run by, local government, losing out to a powerful cabinet coalition, at least one of whom had an unreasoning hatred of Good Old 'Erb and all his works.

After Goldstein’s ‘Prelude’ the first article on the Cold War proper is devoted to a politician, Herbert Morrison, who is generally not associated with it, unlike his towering predecessor Ernest Bevin.
But this purely quantitative comparison is misleading, since Morrison had an enormous role, as Leader of the House of Commons after 1945, ‘in securing the support of MPs and the Party for the Cold War policy’.
For those of us who are familiar with contemporary British history, Morrison’s invidious situation will recall the far better known one which befell Harold Wilson (ironically one of the Bevanite ‘rebels’ in 1951) over Vietnam from 1964.
