		Cripps is not a fashionable politician today, he does not appear to have left a group of devoted admirers, unlike, say, Aneurin Bevan – or even Ernest Bevin, whose attitudes as an early ‘Cold Warrior’ are often alluded to nowadays in the literature on the final demise of Sovietism.
		Cripps was largely responsible for prolonging the proceedings beyond this point of obvious deadlock, apparently unable to restrain himself from making long interjections in the already unprofitable wrangle that developed between Jinnah and Nehru.
		Cripps could therefore argue with good reason that there was a perfect consistency between his planning priorities and the promises made by Labour in 1945.

		Cripps disputed the statistical basis used by Clayton in support of his case and his interpretation of the obligations Britain had agreed to in Washington in 1945.

		Perhaps Cripps' contribution is overstated because Bryant curiously omits much new scholarship on the Attlee governments - for example, the work of Jim Tomlinson and others on economic policy; the work by Nick Tiratsoo and Steven Fielding on popular politics in the 1940s; the assessment by Martin Francis and Nick Ellison of Labour's ideological positioning.
		Cripps' gullibility was then exposed in his trip to India (as Churchill perhaps expected it would be); he was seduced by Gandhi and completely failed to get the Congress Party behind the war effort.
		Cripps was an amalgam of 19th-century radicalism, 20th-century romantic Marxism, a vigorous Christian morality and a quite astonishing, and intensely English, arrogance and vanity.
