Winston Churchill

Churchill had won the doubters over and his successor as party leader was a formality

Thursday May 9, 1940
London, England, United Kingdom

Chamberlain remained Conservative Party leader until October when ill health forced his resignation. By that time, Churchill had won the doubters over and his successor as party leader was a formality.
