The Labour Party’s election program me…is the most fantastic and impracticable program me ever put before the electors. This is not socialism. It is Bolshevism run mad.

About
Philip Snowden was a British politician. A strong speaker he became popular in trade union circles for his denunciation of capitalism as unethical and his promise of a socialist utopia. He was the first Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, a position he held in 1924 and again between 1929 and 1931. He broke with Labour policy in 1931 and was expelled from the party and excoriated as a turncoat, as the Party was overwhelmingly crushed in 1931 by the National Government coalition that Snowden supported.
