| The ILP still had some significant strength at the end of the war, but it went into crisis shortly afterward. |
|
| The newly arrived ILP contingent included Bob Smillie, Bob Edwards, Stafford Cottman and Jack Branthwaite. |
|
| With the NAC taking a lead in organising the party's contests, and with finance tight just 28 candidates ran under the ILP banner. |
|
| A special conference decided that support could be given to either ILP or SDF candidates, which brought a further four contests into the picture. |
|
| In the 1890s the ILP was lacking in alliances with the trade union organisations. |
|
| The ILP provided many of the new Labour MPs, including John Wheatley, Emanuel Shinwell, Tom Johnston and David Kirkwood. |
|
| The ILP proposed to redistribute the national income, meeting the cost of the allowances by taxing high income earners. |
|
| Five ILP members were returned to Westminster and created an ILP group outside the Labour Party. |
|
| In 1932 the ILP held a special conference and voted to disaffiliate from Labour. |
|
| As in 1914 the ILP opposed World War II on ethical grounds and turned to the left. |
|
| In return, the ILP provided a good part of Labour's activist base during its early years. |
|
| Still, the relationship between the ILP and the Labour Party was characterised by conflict. |
|
| The conservative leadership of the ILP, notably Ramsay MacDonald and Philip Snowden, strongly opposed affiliation to the new Comintern. |
|
| This affiliation allowed the ILP to continue to hold its own conferences and devise its own policies, which ILP members were expected to argue for within the Labour Party. |
|
| A further set of questions were asked of the Comintern in letter dated 21 May 1920 by ILP Chairman Richard Wallhead and National Council member Clifford Allen. |
|
| The emergence and growth of the Labour Party, a federation of trade unions with the socialist intellectuals of the ILP, helped its constituent parts develop and grow. |
|
| On the arrival of a British ILP Contingent about three weeks later, Orwell and the other English militiaman, Williams, were sent with them to Monte Oscuro. |
|
| The 1930 ILP conference decided that where their policies diverged from the Labour Party their MPs should break the whip to support the ILP policy. |
