I found this quote in Michael Foot's biography of Aneurin Bevan. It's on p167 of the Paladin Books, 1975 edition, Volume 1 (1897-1945):
"He mocked the Liberals who helped to present the facade of national unity by joining the Government and prophesied their fate: 'the Liberals will be kicked out into the political wilderness and no man will want to know whether they have anything to eat or drink or wear; the job will be done and Great Britain will be handed over to the most reactionary Conservative Government of modern times.'"
I don't know why but that quote just seemed appropriate.
