For 2M: Unit 6 (1951-57) is overdue. Hasn't come up for 3 years (since 2022). I'd take a look at: the '51 election (Conservative successes w/ industrial charter, Labour failures and division, how both parties stand in 1951); the Conservative dominance (Butskellism, middle-way Conservatism, consensus politics); take a look at the question of 'Has Britain never had it so good?' as well (in terms of social welfare, economic strengths and weaknesses); and Conservative policies as a continuation of Labour's (welfare state); also take a look at Suez Crisis as its a notable event.

ALSO, definitely note that unit 4 (1930s) has appeared every single year, so based off of frequency it is likely to come up again. Take a look at: formation of National Government; regional and social division; and the impact of extremism and other challenges such as abdication.

Unit 5 has come up 3 years a row, which suggests some correlation between Unit 6 being potentially brought in this year and unit 5 being benched. However, if there is a question on this it will most likely be on the '45 election as 2025 is the 80 year anniversary for the first majority labour government (just speculation but may hold some significance). ALTHOUGH, do also note there was a question last year on the division of Labour from 45 to 51.

Unit 1 came up last year. Obviously, still revise it but it can take a backseat.

Unit 3 will speak about conservative dominance IF there is a question on it, as they already did rise of the Labour party last year.

Unit 2 has appeared in about half of the papers, so its got like medium probability to come up. If it does it'll be on the war and its impact of course.

Hope this all helps. If it comes down to it and you need to cram hard, prioritise Unit 6.

Good prediction, source question was on Churchill’s government 1951-55. Then there was a question on unit 2 the impact of war on the economy. There was a question on unit 4 like always 🤣 about if living standards increased 33-39. Only prediction u got wrong was unit 1 as there was a question on it, new liberalism reforms i think
