I'd say Bevan probably falls into the 'lost PM's' category.
I get the impression that Ed might be talking about someone along the same lines as Oliver Stanley, that kind of thing. Pretty obscure, in other words.

Indeed...
Hmm...will this project include Charles Stewart Parnell(link provided for everybody else, since I'm sure Ed knows who I'm talking about) as a main character?

Oh yes, Parnell will be prominent. With Churchill playing a more important role ITTL, the whole Irish question will evolve rather differently to OTL. Although in a way, that's the least of it.
Just a quick progress report btw- the first half of the TL is now completely planned, the endgame is half-thought through, and the first few parts are mostly written. I want to have about 50% of the thing completed before I start posting though, so bear with me...

If that were the case, I would have thought the Germans would have ceded the western strip of Tanganyika to Britain (in exchange for other African colonies, perhaps) to allow the British Cape-to-Cairo railway.
That was exactly the clue I noticed first.
True. On the other hand there might be no railway at all, or the railway is Anglo-German indicating even closer cooperation, or it even might be exteritorial (Germans have some experience in those
)I guess we'll have to wait for Ed's timeline to check if we were right.
By the turn of the century ITTL Anglo-German relations are pretty good, although they are declining somewhat. This is to be expected, with Joseph Chamberlain playing a rather more prominent role in the early 1890s then OTL. I don't want to give away too much though!
The Philippine Republic existed OTL, but the Americans dissolved it in 1899. ITTL it's still around by the turn of the century, mostly because the USA has a lot less to do with it...
Really nice maps. How the hell do you do manage to create 'em?
btw, forgive my earlier rudeness:
Yes. The problem with Clarke is that he let his mouth run away with him. If he'd just kept his head down a bit more he probably would have made it into the cabinet.
That won't be the POD (Which will take place in 1981) although it's probably an inevitable outcome...
Penhaligon will certainly survive, although I'm not entirely sure that would be a good thing for the Liberals in my TL.
