  Bernard Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shirley Williams, as she became known, was elected as a Labour Member of Parliament, then crossed the floor as one of the "Gang of Four" to become a founding member of the SDP, a centrist breakaway party.
Williams was particularly critical of utilitarianism, a consequentialist theory, the simplest version of which argues that moral acts are good only insofar as they promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number.
Williams' insistence that morality is about people and their real lives, and that acting out of self-interest and even selfishness are not contrary to moral action, is illustrated in his "internal reasons for action" argument, part of what philosophers call the "internal/external reasons" debate.

 OWEN WILLIAMS - SCREEN PLC (SEN.L): 2001-05-21
Williams: Quite frankly, it is an issue which is actually being dealt with rather more easily than one might have thought, because you can bring in different businesses from different backgrounds, involving different personalities, and I'm quite happy to have wild ducks so long as they fly in formation.
Williams: The external forecasts are currently projecting GBP15.0 million turnover for the current year as against GBP5million last, with an NBT of about 1.5 million; so that's a very considerable profit swing.
Williams: We have sought out business partners who are operating in the marketplaces in which we're interested, particularly the emergency services at the moment, who have a technical competence and a market reach that we can use to put our products through, and those interviews and discussions and negotiations continue as we speak.

Williams talks as if "truth itself" and the virtue of truthfulness, while conceptually distinct, are somehow all of a piece.
For all the impressive display of philosophical expertise Williams' way of mapping the present philosophical terrain is not as useful as he might have hoped and the book as a whole requires a good deal of time and sustained concentration to get through to the end.
Williams examines the modern tension between valuing and demanding truthfulness vs. doubting that there is truth or regarding it as relative or subjective.

 David Owen Papers - Biographical notes
In 1960 David Owen, a medical student at St Thomas' Hospital, London, joined the Labour Party, inspired particularly by the politics and integrity of Labour Party leader Hugh Gaitskell, whilst also moved by the conditions of poverty and squalor which he was shocked to encounter during his hospital work in London.
David Owen served as Deputy Leader of the new party from Oct 1982-Jun 1983, and Party Leader from Jun 1983-Aug 1987, but his efforts to steer the Party clear of a merger with its electoral allies, the Liberals, and retain its separate identity, were finally defeated by pro-mergerists in both parties in 1987.
The continuing SDP was re-established under David Owen's leadership in Mar 1988, but suffered from diminished membership and failure to reach electoral agreement with the merged party, the Social and Liberal Democrats, and was finally wound down as a national party in Jun 1990.
