1858:
leading
British public figures (if one buys into what I take to be the now generally accepted view) perjuring themselves. So, as to sourcing, I have so far provided three sources: one of Bevan's Labour Party colleagues and a famous political biographer, a leading journalist, and a historian. Is this "adequate"? It would not be hard to provide more. It is evident that Crossman's diaries represent a crucial primary source (I believe he writes something like "we were pissed as newts"). But that would appear to be his backbench diaries, to which I do not currently have access, rather than the better-known Diaries of a Cabinet Minister. Very well. I have today ordered the backbench diaries, and will cite them once they arrive. In the meanwhile, with respect, I propose to reinstate the entry.
2408:
biographers are divided over the charge of perjury. On my count to date, we have
Campbell accepting it (or so I believe based on the History Today quote: I have not yet received his book), Foot rejecting it, on the double grounds that, as noted, Bevan could hold his drink pretty well and was only rarely seen the worse for it, and that (rather endearingly) in Italy surely one would drink the local wine rather than whisky(!), and Thomas-Symonds on the face of it agnostic, if also apparently awkward about the subject -- reporting the bare facts and The Spectator's later claim of having been wronged rather tersely (I read a review of this book which argues that the author, while handling many aspects of Bevan's career well, is least comfortable with his "lifestyle").

assume you are relying on a paragraph in a chapter about
Crossman. That cannot provide evidence that Jenkins thought this incident was significant in Bevan's life, it might possibly do so for Crossman but even then I would be dubious. If it was in a biography or commentary on Bevan's life and more than just a minor reference you would have evidence. Using primary sources is frowned on in Knowledge and almost always ends up as a form of synthesis or original research when it is indirect or focused on another subject. Adding another primary source (Crossman diaries) will not satisfy sourcing requirements. I'll just leave it tagged for the moment but if you can't provide something I'll delete it ----

May 1930 and Mosley's
Manifesto in December 1930 - the latter became the core of the New Party's programme. Mosley at this time was advocating public works, tariffs and capital to be invested at home rather than abroad. Bevan broke with Mosley not because he disagreed with him (he later claimed to have predicted that Mosley would end up as a fascist but it's unclear that he said so at the time) but because of his quasi-Marxist belief that only a party united and with a solid class base could achieve real change. His close friend John Strachey did join the New Party for a bit. Bevan was equally contemptuous of the ILP's secession from Labour in the early 1930s. See John Campbell 1987, pp.40 et ff.
1048:'He's so unstable, all over the place, you never know where you are with him. Anyway, he's cooked his goose for the time being and the party would never stand for him.' (Leo McKinstry, Attlee and Churchill: Allies in War, Adversaries in Peace, London, Atlantic Books, 2019, ISBN 978-1-84887-661-3, p.618.) The article is also wrong to claim that Bevan got the whip restored 'due to his popularity.' In fact the NEC would have expelled him from the party, at the instance of Hugh Gaitskell and Arthur Deakin of the TGWU, but for Attlee's pro-unity motion that Bevan should instead be required to apologise and give assurances for future conduct, which won by just one vote. (Op. cit., p.610.)
2506:
labour, etc., etc. A fine public servant. Yet I have not flinched from incorporating material that many would consider unflattering -- controversial land deals, typically involving Indian land; a secret deal with the German government of the day to subsidize his book about responsibility for the First World War; the fact that a leading historian of the day dismissed the book as worthless; and so on. Bevan like Owen was a fine and important progressive leader. But I do not believe that those of us on the Left (as I consider myself) should be in the business of covering up the human frailties of our leaders, and that goes for Bevan just as it goes for Owen.
2392:(d) The question of Bevan's ability to hold his liquor is really fundamental, and your comment strengthens my feeling me that the original Spectator text should appear in the article (though I think in a footnote would be preferable). Many people believe that The Spectator wrote that the three men were drunk. But if you read the actual quote it is far more subtle than that. She says that they were able to consume a lot of whisky, that the Italians could not tell if they were sober or not, but they spoke of their political acumen admiringly. These words would be entirely compatible with one or more of them being able to hold their liquor pretty well.
2387:(c) I have never heard the suggestion that Jenkins was seen as "Crossman's inheritor." This is implausible for many reasons, including, but not limited to: (i) Crossman was (with however many reservations) seen as a member of the Bevanite wing of the party, while Jenkins was a Gaitskellite (indeed, especially personally close to Gaitskell); (ii) Crossman was an individualistic, idiosyncratic figure, who just was not the sort of personality to really attract disciples; (iii) Crossman's diaries unwittingly show Jenkins cynically playing on Crossman's vanity in suggesting that Crossman was a plausible successor to Wilson (a ludicrous notion).
1952:
Welsh miner who became a Labour MP. But in some ways more importantly
Jenkins was also one of the pre-eminent political biographers of his generation (Dilke, Asquith, Gladstone, Churchill....) and understood the handling of evidence. Beyond this, I have indicated that I plan to cite the Crossman diaries, an essential primary source, as soon as I can get my hands on them; I've now also ordered Campbell's biography to be able to quote it first-hand. But I must also just point out that it can be abusive of the system to keep raising the bar for sourcing so high that no citations can ever be considered adequate.......
1700:
NHS is fairly new, isn't it? I live in the US now and the state of health care here is appalling. Bevan essentially succeeded, and this entry is about him. The difference between "UK - NHS" and "UK + NHS" was immense. If you read (maybe all of you have read them) biographies of him or histories of
Britain at the time, it's clear that there was a sea change that occurred in those years, and not just in the NHS. What do you think about adding a phrase to show that things are different today, but which doesn't lessen the size of the original change? As to "at the point of need" I don't love the phrase either.
1934:
retreated from his sworn testimony. Relevance? Clearly not challenged by anyone else here during 5 years. If one accepts the charges, Bevan's integrity is impugned. If one does not, then I suppose it's a Tory plot to bring down an icon of the Left. Hardly "irrelevant" either way. Notoriety? Well, the pieces by Lawson and Bose are both essays on larger themes (misuse of the libel laws, and political risk-taking, respectively) that consider the B/C/P case sufficiently egregious to be worth singling out as an exceptional example.

would have evidence". But now that I've jumped that hurdle, it seems, the goalpost moves and "there is no evidence whatsoever from a third party source that this is notable"!! I have further adduced that the case features in various commentaries on the law, as for example the Bose reference, which incidentally could be multiplied over and over... No acknowledgement of this at all! One really has to ask: when is enough enough? And that is not intended as a rhetorical question: I am (still) hoping for an answer.
1888:. All of that means that you get agreement here BEFORE you reinstate disputed material. You say it is notorious? Is it? Show me something current that says it and I might buy in. You don't have Bevan's responses. So with respect get your sources and argue for relevance, get other editors involved. You have not convinced me so I am reverting to the stable state UNTIL agreement is reached here. You need a clear authoritative source as to its current relevance to Bevan's career as a whole ----

biography which is not about Bevan directly. It contains an allegation which has not been tested so we can't draw a conclusion as to fact. I don't see anything in what you have said which establishes it as significant. All you offer is that a former politician from a different party (and formerly a different wing of the same party) wrote two paragraphs in an essay which you consider were strongly worded. That is not evidence that the material is significant to Bevan's life. ----
2397:(e) I take RJ to be saying that not that "the latter days of Bevan's career were less than glorious" but that not all of it was. His own next sentence is "But much of it was". So I don't think the article should quote Jenkins as saying what is in the above quote. More broadly, I don't think it is appropriate for the article to treat the matter simply as something that Jenkins brought up: the significance of the libel case clearly extends beyond Jenkins's personal views of Bevan.

shows that the accusation against Bevan is not accepted by all who were there at the time so relying on limited sources from those who were hostile to him in a polemical piece (I just read it again and it is) by a contemporary politician in a different wing of the party is not on. I've offered you a compromise of a couple of sentences that record the accusation referencing the accuser and the fact it is controversial. That seems reasonable and is supported by the sources. ----

However Bevan, who resented press criticism which he had received in the past, saw it as a chance to score off the press (in the full knowledge that he was committing perjury). I do have some notes kicking around somewhere but I'm not making any promises as to when I'll ever get round to posting them.

there have been changes in the care offered by the NHS and attempts to privatize it. When it was set up it was essentially free, and the establishment of the NHS needs to be thought of in comparison to what existed at the time. So maybe a distinction is needed between the original purpose, mandate, and conditions of the NHS and what is happening now? Bevan fought very hard so far as I know to have a free NHS.

If both sources are found, then we need to start thinking carefully about whether they are reliable.

On the other issues you raise, I am willing to continue the discussion. Some are easier to handle than others. Given that Bevan died in 1960, he was obviously in no position to respond to later revelations such as Crossman's published diaries: I have to date seen nothing to suggest that he publicly

Having said that, I think that the disputed phrase, in the context where it's presented, is creating useless controversy. This is a biography, not an article about the NHS (there's already an excellent article about the NHS on Knowledge which talks about the issue you are disputing in some depth).
