Balfour Breaks With Chamberlain Over Tariff Reform
A cleaving exchange outlines differences within the party as Joseph Chamberlain shies from leadership and forms a separate group. Balfour remains noncommittal but signals a bridge to tariff reform, with a February 15 meeting likely to fix party direction. Chamberlain’s manifesto letter preserves the core split while avoiding a precise position on leadership and tariff policy.
