John Morgan (British politician) (original) (raw)

John Morgan (21 October 1892 – 4 December 1940) was a British Labour Party politician. Morgan was born in London and grew up in an orphanage. Upon leaving, he found work in Essex, as a labourer, then later became a farm manager in Yorkshire. This led on to farming in Sussex and then back in Essex, and Morgan travelled internationally to study agriculture. He gave the For Farmers Only series of lectures on BBC Radio in 1933, and under the pseudonym "John Sussex", he was the agricultural correspondent to the Daily Herald.
