 He was the Leader of the House of Commons from 2003 to 2005 and Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 2005 to 2007 under Blair, and as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and Secretary of State for Wales from 2007 to 2008 under Brown.
 In 2007, he ran for the Deputy Leadership of the Labour Party, coming fifth out of six candidates, although his failure to declare donations during this contest led to his resignation in 2008.
 He later returned to the Cabinet from 2009 to 2010 as Welsh Secretary, before becoming Shadow Welsh Secretary in Ed Miliband's Shadow Cabinet from 2010 until 2012, when he announced his retirement from front-line politics.
 In 2014 he announced he would stand down as the MP for Neath at the 2015 general election.
 He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours.
 Writing in the "Guardian", he subsequently outlined his views on House of Lords reform.
 He came to the UK from South Africa as a teenager, and was a noted anti-apartheid campaigner in the 1970s.
 He was also Honorary Vice-President of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality.

Carl Fremont Brand (October 8, 1892 – March 27, 1981) was an American historian.
 He was a professor of history at Stanford University for thirty-four years, and was one of the leading American authorities on the history of the British Labour Party.
 His books, "British Labour's Rise to Power" (1941) and "The British Labour Party" (1964), are regarded as definitive works in this field.

Clement Richard Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (3 January 1883 – 8 October 1967) was a British Labour politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 to 1951 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1935 to 1955.
 In 1940, Attlee took Labour into the wartime coalition government and served under Winston Churchill, becoming the first person to hold the office of Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
 He went on to lead the Labour Party to an unexpected landslide victory at the 1945 general election; forming the first Labour majority government, and a mandate to implement its postwar reforms.
 The 12.0% national swing from the Conservatives to Labour was unprecedented at that time and remains the largest ever achieved by any party at a general election in British electoral history.
 He was re-elected with a narrow majority at the 1950 general election.
 In the following year, Attlee called a snap general election, hoping to increase his parliamentary majority.
 However, he was narrowly defeated by the Conservatives under the leadership of Winston Churchill; despite winning the most votes of any political party in any general election in British political history until the Conservative Party's fourth consecutive victory in 1992.
 Attlee remains the longest-ever serving Leader of the Labour Party.

 Throughout his long career he occupied the cabinet positions of Secretary of State for Education and Science, President of the Board of Trade, Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning and Foreign Secretary.
 A prominent socialist intellectual, he became one of the Labour Party's revisionists on the right, as an intellectual leader of Gaitskellism.
 His highly influential book "The Future of Socialism" (1956) argued against many Marxist notions and Labour Party orthodoxy that public ownership was essential to make socialism work.
 He offered positive alternatives to both right and left wings of his Labour Party.
 He questioned the need for public ownership of the means of production – the classic socialist formulation – and argued instead for making the highest priority the end of poverty and improved public services.
 He led the Labour battle to replace grammar schools with comprehensive schools that did not sort students at age 11.
 As foreign secretary he promoted détente with the Soviet Union.
