- Winston Churchill's decision to send the British Army to Tonypandy during the Welsh miners strikes in 1910 caused much ill feeling towards him in South Wales.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell branded Winston Churchill a "villain" for his actions, provoking a furious rebuke from others.
The wartime leader, who was later knighted, was voted the greatest Briton in a BBC poll in 2002.
Ex-Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who has written extensively on Churchill, said Mr McDonnell should be "ashamed" of his remarks.
