Stafford Cripps left the Labour Party in which year?

  • 1939

  • 1940

  • 1941

  • 1942

Answer

Stafford Cripps left the Labour Party in 1939. This was because he was against the party's policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany. He believed that the party was not doing enough to stand up to Hitler and that this would lead to war. Cripps later rejoined the Labour Party in 1945 and served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1947 to 1950.
