 National Labour Party (UK 1930s) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Labour Party was also the name of an Irish political party (a split from the Irish Labour Party) active in the 1940s and 1950s.
Just before the 1945 election the National Labour party formally dissolved and its remaining MPs either retired from Parliament, stood as "National" supporters of the continuation of the National Government (better known as Winston Churchill's "Caretaker Government") or stood as independents.
It contested the 1931 election and the 1935 election, and was viewed by the mainstream Labour party as 'traitors'.

In 1938 Labour Party annual conference rejected an appeal to form a Popular Front type alliance, because in the words of the author of the annual conference report "members of the Party should withhold sup- port for movements, which are bound to weaken the Party's organisation and electoral power.

It can be viewed at the official Labour Party website and has been included here for visitors to this site to gain a better understanding of the background of the Labour Party.
The 1945 Labour government is rightly remembered as one of the most radical and ambitious governments ever: taking into public ownership a number of industries, creating a national contributory insurance scheme and, under the leadership of fiery Welshman Nye Bevan, creating the National Health Service.
This was followed in 1996 by the publication of New Labour, New Life for Britain, the draft manifesto that was discussed and voted upon by party members across the country.

It's exactly the same stuff they were putting about in the 1930s, and very weak, brainwise.
Not within the one I was conned into putting about, obviously; but in general, conspiracy theories always like to blame a certain groups of people, supposedly operating in "secret", who are supposedly "pulling the strings" and plotting in a huge choreographed conspiracy, to do down "simple, common man".

 Just Left: what's the left for?
Labour accepts the realities and constraints of power; a party like the Greens does not have to and probably wouldn't be able to.
For many people, the Greens are the Labour Party they always wanted, and that's why they give Greens their party vote while voting for the Labour MP in their electorate.
What I do see (and hope for) is a strong Green party acting as a consistent "conscience" for the Labour party, influencing policy to pull it in a more leftwards and environmentally sustainable direction.

 cars - New Party (UK)
Some parts of the New Party had already began to adopt fascist thinking, its youth movement for example, and in 1932 Mosley united the various fascist organisations in the UK, forming the British Union of Fascists, to which the New Party subsumed itself.
They were formed by Oswald Mosley, who had become disaffected with the Labour Party when at their 1930 conference they narrowly rejected his "Mosley Manifesto", a document he had written outlining how he would deal with the problem of unemployment.
The New Party programme was built on the "Mosley Manifesto", with them advocating a national policy to meet the economic crisis that the Great Depression had brought.

 UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw rants against Trotskyism
This was at a time when a broad-based radicalisation was taking place amongst workers and students alike, and when the Trotskyist Socialist Labour League was winning growing support—to the point where it had taken control of the Labour Party’s youth movement and had a substantial presence in many trade union branches.
Straw’s letters have unintentionally drawn attention to this vital contribution made by the Communist Party to the Labour Party and Labour governments in the post-war period.
Straw’s foray into anti-Trotskyism is not a return to the haunts of his youth, but reflects fundamental lessons that he learned from Ramelson and that have stayed with him throughout his political life as a Labourite.
