life, providing him with the emotional resilience necessary to face the monumental pressures of leadership. At the 2024 ICS Conference, Katherine Carter remarked, “Clementine was Churchill’s rock, guiding him through the most difficult moments with unwavering support and strength.” Their marriage, often played out in the public eye, was filled with both triumphs and trials. When they wed, Churchill was already a prominent figure in the Liberal government, making them one of the "celebrity couples" of the age. Thankfully, Winston had chosen “most wisely and most well,” as Clementine's resilience helped steer their family through countless crises, from financial struggles to family tensions. Clementine's childhood, marked by similar financial and emotional difficulties, equipped her to cope with the high demands of being Churchill's wife. Her inner strength proved invaluable, particularly during the Second World War, when Winston faced incredible pressure as Prime Minister. Despite their many challenges, the Churchills maintained a close and loving relationship. They often exchanged affectionate letters during their long periods of separation, referring to each other with pet names: she was his ‘Kat’ and he was her ‘Pug.’ Their correspondence, decorated with playful drawings, reflected the deep affection and humour that underpinned their marriage. As their daughter Mary Soames later remarked, “Perhaps history would have been different if my father had married a docile yes-woman... but my mother had the will and capacity to stand up to him, to confront him and to argue with him.” Indeed, Clementine’s capacity to challenge Winston and provide thoughtful counsel was key to his success. #Churchill #ThinkChurchill #WinstonChurchill #InternationalChurchillConference #InternationalChurchillSociety #churchill150 @chartwellnt #chartwell #churchillfamily #winstonchurchill150th"> </a> </div> </div><div class="sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition" id="sbi_18109595293434791" data-date="1732273765"> <div class="sbi_photo_wrap"> <a class="sbi_photo" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCq-OlZIkF0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-full-res="https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/467821566_424144140758547_8360683365043004537_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=BTMfpf-7szkQ7kNvgHsvD0C&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYBSnnYUxDBgrnF81_0v4jBC8eUj1TrXhwUuM7zEV4gNJg&oe=674DDF52" data-img-src-set="{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/467821566_424144140758547_8360683365043004537_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=BTMfpf-7szkQ7kNvgHsvD0C&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYBSnnYUxDBgrnF81_0v4jBC8eUj1TrXhwUuM7zEV4gNJg&oe=674DDF52","150":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/467821566_424144140758547_8360683365043004537_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=BTMfpf-7szkQ7kNvgHsvD0C&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYBSnnYUxDBgrnF81_0v4jBC8eUj1TrXhwUuM7zEV4gNJg&oe=674DDF52","320":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/467821566_424144140758547_8360683365043004537_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=BTMfpf-7szkQ7kNvgHsvD0C&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYBSnnYUxDBgrnF81_0v4jBC8eUj1TrXhwUuM7zEV4gNJg&oe=674DDF52","640":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/467821566_424144140758547_8360683365043004537_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=BTMfpf-7szkQ7kNvgHsvD0C&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYBSnnYUxDBgrnF81_0v4jBC8eUj1TrXhwUuM7zEV4gNJg&oe=674DDF52"}"> <span class="sbi-screenreader">This autumn brings a fascinating duo of books delv</span> <img src="https://winstonchurchill.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="This autumn brings a fascinating duo of books delving into Winston Churchill’s 1930s wilderness years. "Churchill’s Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm" by Katherine Carter, focuses on how Chartwell, Churchill's beloved home, served as the strategic hub against the rising Nazi threat. Carter, Chartwell's curator, uses the home's guestbook to weave a narrative that places Chartwell at the centre of Churchill’s political efforts during the 1930s. "Winston’s Bandits: Churchill and His Maverick Friends" by Adrian Phillips, offers a detailed exploration of the influential yet eccentric group of men—dubbed Churchill's 'mavericks'—who were instrumental during these critical years. Phillips provides an insightful look into their unconventional tactics and the crucial intelligence they gathered. Reviewed by David Lough in our latest ICS Bulletin, these books unveil the intricate details of Churchill’s life and the influential figures around him. Both books present unique yet complementary views of a pivotal decade in Churchill's life and are essential reads for anyone interested in the complexities of historical leadership. Dive deeper into these riveting accounts of political strategy, personal resolve, and the friendships that influenced a nation on the brink of war. #Churchill #WinstonChurchill #ThinkChurchill #history #historybooks #churchillbooks #chartwell @chartwellnt @katieculture"> </a> </div> </div><div class="sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition" id="sbi_18026607335590407" data-date="1731000651"> <div class="sbi_photo_wrap"> <a class="sbi_photo" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCFB9N-oDTj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-full-res="https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=WNr4pgCT6UsQ7kNvgFdGQ90&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYB98ySfPXEC8a7vsGRDZr5EHDXYLRWdkJtiaBoP0Os24Q&oe=674DC440" data-img-src-set="{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=WNr4pgCT6UsQ7kNvgFdGQ90&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYB98ySfPXEC8a7vsGRDZr5EHDXYLRWdkJtiaBoP0Os24Q&oe=674DC440","150":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=WNr4pgCT6UsQ7kNvgFdGQ90&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYB98ySfPXEC8a7vsGRDZr5EHDXYLRWdkJtiaBoP0Os24Q&oe=674DC440","320":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=WNr4pgCT6UsQ7kNvgFdGQ90&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYB98ySfPXEC8a7vsGRDZr5EHDXYLRWdkJtiaBoP0Os24Q&oe=674DC440","640":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=WNr4pgCT6UsQ7kNvgFdGQ90&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYB98ySfPXEC8a7vsGRDZr5EHDXYLRWdkJtiaBoP0Os24Q&oe=674DC440"}"> <span class="sbi-screenreader">On this day, 7 Nov 1924 Sir Winston Churchill was </span> <img src="https://winstonchurchill.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="On this day, 7 Nov 1924 Sir Winston Churchill was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Churchill would hold this position until 1929 when he resigned from the post following the defeat of Baldwin's government. This saw the beginning of his so-called ‘Wilderness Years’. #Churchill #ThinkChurchill #WinstonChurchill #Leadership #Politician #Politics #Chancellor #ChancellorOfTheExchequer #ChurchillSociety"> </a> </div> </div><div class="sbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new sbi_transition" id="sbi_17859340065277919" data-date="1730985954"> <div class="sbi_photo_wrap"> <a class="sbi_photo" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCEl7MmovFP/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-full-res="https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/465684403_955954136562666_4187335341460071422_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=2pvPEuirrOQQ7kNvgHU0yOL&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYDi-VGWoBrpZyCrrdt13J24-8CcoyNZAPIWqb_hfcqCRA&oe=674DD9D0" data-img-src-set="{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465684403_955954136562666_4187335341460071422_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=2pvPEuirrOQQ7kNvgHU0yOL&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYDi-VGWoBrpZyCrrdt13J24-8CcoyNZAPIWqb_hfcqCRA&oe=674DD9D0","150":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465684403_955954136562666_4187335341460071422_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=2pvPEuirrOQQ7kNvgHU0yOL&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYDi-VGWoBrpZyCrrdt13J24-8CcoyNZAPIWqb_hfcqCRA&oe=674DD9D0","320":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465684403_955954136562666_4187335341460071422_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=2pvPEuirrOQQ7kNvgHU0yOL&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYDi-VGWoBrpZyCrrdt13J24-8CcoyNZAPIWqb_hfcqCRA&oe=674DD9D0","640":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465684403_955954136562666_4187335341460071422_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=2pvPEuirrOQQ7kNvgHU0yOL&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYDi-VGWoBrpZyCrrdt13J24-8CcoyNZAPIWqb_hfcqCRA&oe=674DD9D0"}"> <span class="sbi-screenreader">Sir Winston Churchill won his first election to Pa</span> <svg class="svg-inline--fa fa-clone fa-w-16 sbi_lightbox_carousel_icon" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="Clone" data-fa-proƒcessed="" data-prefix="far" data-icon="clone" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"> <path fill="currentColor" d="M464 0H144c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v48H48c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v320c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h320c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48v-48h48c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48V48c0-26.51-21.49-48-48-48zM362 464H54a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V150a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h42v224c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h224v42a6 6 0 0 1-6 6zm96-96H150a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V54a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h308a6 6 0 0 1 6 6v308a6 6 0 0 1-6 6z"></path> </svg> <img src="https://winstonchurchill.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="Sir Winston Churchill won his first election to Parliament as a Conservative (Tory) for the town of Oldham in 1900. He quickly made a name for himself as a rising politician, though he was controversial, and in 1904 he left his father's party and joined the Liberals. Early in his career, he held a succession of senior Government roles, and in 1924, he returned to the Conservative Party as Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was talented, but many mistrusted him.
