The entire cohort of labour post war was fascinating. Soldier citizens, mixing with professional parliamentarians, social activists, renegade upper classes, soviet supports/opponents.. gays, you name it.
At one point, MI5 was bugging some of them (illegally) and they started using Yiddish as an attempted code to avoid being understood. I think their assumption this was "Navaho code-talker smart" was misplaced, there would be plenty of Yiddish speakers in the espiocrat community.
When I say "was a gossip columnist" I'm playing him down. He was the man behind the Daily Express's "William Hickey". He kind-of defined that decades voice.
This was the cohort who built the welfare state. Jokes aside, it was amazing what they achieved against the reaction from Churchill and his followers.
