Labour Party (UK)

The Labour Party is a center-left political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1900, although it can trace its roots back to various groups in the late-19th Century. It achieved its first government in 1924, permanently surpassing the Liberal Party. The Labour Party continues to be a viable party.

Labour Party in The Man With the Iron Heart
After being a part of a coalition goverment for the duration of World War II, the Labour Party successfully contested the 1945 General election, and Clement Attlee became the prime minister. However, the Labour Party soon found itself grappling with the German Freedom Front's acts of terrorism in occupied Germany, and was subject to criticism for the years following the war. This included attacks on Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral in 1947. By 1948, Attlee's government had begun withdrawing troops.
