Baldwin was elected Conservative MP for Bewdley, succeeding his father Alfred, in 1908. He rose rapidly in government and was one of the prime movers in 1922 when the Conservatives withdrew support from Lloyd George.
Baldwin became Chancellor of the Exchequer under Bonar Law and when he resigned in 1923 due to health reasons, Baldwin became Prime Minister.
He served as Prime Minister from May 1923 to January 1924, from November 1924 to June 1929 and from June 1935 to May 1937.
