IN AND OUT OF PARLIAMENT
By Ernest Thurtle, M.P.
N interesting political development is the
Aetating nou al de strong Socialist
Christian group within the Labour movement,
The full title of the body is Parliamentary Socialist Christian Group. Its chairman' is Mr T. Skeffington-Lodge, M.P. for Bedford.
So far membership consists of 08 M.P.s (including a number of Cabinet Ministers) and nine peers.
This organisation may provide Sir Stafford Cripps' with impressive support within his.party. for it secks to mobilise opinion in favour of the viow which the Chancellor frequently expresses publicly, namely, that Christianity is the one great force which can stabilise and strengthen democracy against totalitarian menaces.

FROM the outset it was clear that the "Nenni" telegram was too grave an affront to Labour loyalty for it to be passed over lightly by tho leadership.
So it has proved, though the national execu- tive have taken an even stronger line than many expected.
Mr John Platts-Mills is the chief sufferer from the disciplinary arm, but that seems to be but justice. since he was obviously the chief. offender.
An attractive man personally, he might well, had he so chosen, have become a power in Labour's ranks.

Florrie came round to tea (last of the fish spread) and told us the Russians have a bomb which will blow up whole countries, let alone cities, and will soon offer the demo- ultimatum, "World Com- cracies an munist or The End."
As she was always so right about the Germans' new weapons, we all
felt a bit funny.
As for Emily she passed right out and was bitten by dear, darling Porgy. He always does this when she makes a fool of herself, though I expect it's only his nerves.
