Clement Attlee was the longest-ever serving Leader of the Labour Party, and UK Prime Minister from 1945 to 1951.

Operation Embarrass

In late 1946 the government of Clement Attlee asked MI6 for “proposals for action to deter ships masters and crews from engaging in illegal Jewish immigration and traffic.” Stewart Menzies, the chief of the SIS, suggested carrying out false flag bomb attacks against Jewish refugees, which were carried out in 1947 and 1948 as Operation Embarrass.
