Writing to his daughter Megan, Lloyd George discussed the first few weeks of Labour in power for the first time. ‘What changes are taking place. A socialist govt. actually in power. But don’t get uneasy about your investments or your antiques. Nothing will be removed or abstracted. They have come in like a lamb. Will they go out like a lion? Who knows? For the present their tameness is shocking to me. They are all engaged in looking as respectable as lather & blather will make them. They are out to sooth ruffled nerves. When you return you will find England quite unchanged. Ramsay is just a fussy Baldwin & no more. The Liberals were bound to turn Baldwin out & the King was bound to call Ramsay in & we are bound to give him a chance. That is the situation.’
