Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn (born 3 April 1925), formerly 2nd Viscount Stansgate, is a British Labour politician, and the current President of the Stop the War Coalition. During the 1970s and 1980s, Benn was regarded as the most conspicuous figure of the political left in Britain. With his successful campaign to renounce his inherited title, a landmark case in British politics, Benn was instrumental in the creation of the Peerage Act 1963. Later, in the Labour Government of 1964-1970 under Harold Wilson, he served first as Postmaster General, where he oversaw the opening of the Post Office Tower, and later as a notably ''technocratic'' Minister of Technology. In the period when the Labour Party were in opposition, Benn served for a year as the Chairman of the Labour Party.
