The timeline is a ForWantOfANail scenario centering on one of the most hated political figures in British history, Oswald Mosley. In popular history he's remembered for his later movement to Fascism and open support for Nazi Germany, while Ed demonstrates that he had a distinguished political career long before the rise of fascism in Europe: specifically Mosley is compared to Tony Blair (emphasized by each chapter being prefaced by a Blair quote) in that he was a Labour politician who thought that centrism was the way forward.
