He only mentions the election three times or so, one beforehand noting that it was Churchill's main topic of conversation, another one saying that Labour had made a few gains, and a final one about Bevin going to the FO and worrying about his own position there.

Duff Cooper is supposed to have said that the overwhelming service vote for Labour in 1945 was "a vote against the sergeant-major" rather than a vote for a coherent socialist platform - a view that was largely correct IMHO.
