Ellen Wilkinson was a firebrand British politician in the inter-war years – "Red Ellen", the heroine of the Jarrow March and the scourge of Neville Chamberlain. Churchill was happy to employ her in his wartime coalition, where she took charge of the nation's air raid shelters. After the war she served in Clement Attlee's Labour government as Minister of Education before her premature death in 1947. A ball of restless energy, outside politics she found time to write novels, histories, articles and pamphlets, and in a spare moment helped to found UNESCO. She may have been Herbert Morrison's mistress. Mr riley has pointed out my evident penchant for writing about strong-minded women – it probably originates from my time in the cubs. There's been lots of peer review attention, see here, but further comment, criticism and correction would be further appreciated. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:17, 4 November 2014 (UTC) reply
Support – Such minor quibbles as I had were thoroughly dealt with at PR. I enjoyed this article very much, and I think BB has done Miss Wilkinson proud (he makes me feel I'd have loved to meet her, and that's among the the highest praise I can give any biographer). Meets all FA criteria for prose. Nb. that "pubs" has been misspelled in the above introduction to this review page. See evidence here. Tim riley talk 22:39, 4 November 2014 (UTC) reply
Support – with drip fed comments I'm afraid as I currently have a poor internet connection. Looks superb though:
