Why did Mosley resign from the Labour government in 1930?

  • Health issues

  • Disagreement on unemployment policies

  • Lost an election

  • Scandal

Answer

Mosley resigned from the Labour government in 1930 due to a fundamental disagreement over unemployment policies. He believed the government's approach was insufficient and advocated for more radical measures to address the high unemployment rates during the Great Depression. This divergence in views led to his resignation and subsequent formation of the New Party.
