Disraeli was of course the first one nation conservative.

The Liberal-Labour (these were Liberal MP's backed by a Trade Union) said of Disraeli's workers reforms of the 1870's "The Conservative party have done more for the working classes in five years than the Liberals have in fifty."

Still not sure why Splott Parker thinks so badly of him
