Over the next 20 years, he published a host of texts on politics, philosophy and mathematics, most notable of which was " Principa Mathematica". He was also active in radical politics and, in 1907, stood unsuccessfuly as a Liberal MP in support of womens suffrage. In 1918, he was imprisoned for campaigns against the war, which lost him his Cambridge fellowship. He stood for Parliament again in 1922-3, this time for the Labour Party. An erstwhile supporter of appeasement, he came to support WW2. In 1945, his fellowship was restored. The H-Bomb tests in 1954 led him to found the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and he was imprisoned again in 1961 for demonstrating.
