Untitled[edit]

I removed the claim that Griffith-Boscawen was defeated by James Chuter Ede at the Mitcham by-election because in Maurice Cowling's The impact of Labour it says Griffith-Boscawen was defeated by an unamed Independent Conservative. The page on James Chuter Ede claims he entered Parliament in 1923 for South Shields.

The introduction to Chuter Ede's wartime diaries suggests otherwise. The Times guide to the Commons states that South Shields was a Labour gain in 1929 and that Ede had previously sat for Mitcham. I think Cowling is mistaken or mixing up the elections (remember Griffith-Boscawen was defeated three times in three years). Timrollpickering 08:47, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies[edit]

Having read his article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, I notice a few inaccuracies in this one about his political career. His period as PPS to Hicks-Beach ended ten years before he was elected to London County Council, and he had opposed the disestablishment of the Church in Wales.Cloptonson (talk) 18:00, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bonar Law snail cartoon[edit]

If my memory is correct, in Robert Blake's History of the Tory Party ("From Peel to Churchill/Thatcher/Major" - which I read donkey's years ago but don't have to hand) there is a cartoon of Bonar Law looking at a snail sliding slowly along a fence, saying something to the effect that "that's an ideal householder, minds his own business and doesn't stab you in the back" (yes, I know, the joke seems to lose something in translation). I'm pretty sure it refers to Griffith-Boscawen's by-election defeat in March 1923.Paulturtle (talk) 05:06, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
