A strong speaker, he became popular in trade union circles for his denunciation of capitalism as unethical and his promise of a socialist utopia. He was the first Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, a position he held in 1924 and again between 1929 and 1931. He broke with Labour policy in 1931, and was expelled from the party and excoriated as a turncoat, as the party was overwhelmingly crushed that year by the National Government coalition that Snowden supported. He was succeeded as Chancellor by Neville ChamberlainLeonard Raven-Hill (10 March 1867 - 31 March 1942) was an English artist, illustrator and cartoonist.Over 3,000 Punch cartoons listed for sale, combine orders and save shipping charges.
