EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a significant moment in political history, featuring two influential figures - David Steel and David Owen. The image shows the SDP colleagues, with David Steel on the left and David Owen on the right, about to shake hands.
David Steel, also known as Baron Steel of Aikwood, was a prominent Liberal and Liberal Democrat MP who served as the leader of the Liberal Party. He was a Member of both the Scottish Parliament and the House of Lords.
On the other hand, David Owen, also known as Baron Owen, was a Labour politician who played a key role in founding the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Together with Steel, they formed an alliance that would have a lasting impact on British politics during the 1980s.
The expressions on their faces show camaraderie and mutual respect between these two colleagues. Their collaboration marked a pivotal moment in political history as they worked together to challenge traditional party lines and bring about change.
This print serves as a reminder of their contributions to shaping modern politics and is a testament to their dedication to creating positive change for society.
