Bevanite

Bevanite refers to a supporter of Aneurin Bevan, a prominent British politician and founder of the National Health Service (NHS). Bevanites generally advocate for strong public services, social justice, and progressive social policies. Originating in the 1940s, the term often describes members of the Labour Party who emphasize welfare state principles and government-led healthcare and social programs. Bevanites are associated with a commitment to universal, free healthcare and social equality, reflecting Bevan’s vision for a fairer society guided by democratic socialism.
