Despite over a million people standing in solidarity and transport and heavy industry being particularly effected, the action proved unsuccessful thanks to a prepared government reaction and the enlisting of middle class volunteers to run essential services that had been affected by the industrial action.
A further irony was that Eden, now a member of the Communist Party, was one of those who lost her job when a furious management imposed cutbacks.

He has appeared on the Talking Pictures TV podcast and is currently contributing to Scarred For Life: Vol II, a book about 1980s TV, film and pop culture.
Jessie Eden has a tendency to make whimsical remarks to Tommy regarding the hypothetical communist revolution, which always seems distantly on the horizon.
The New Girl in Peaky Blinders Is Based on a Real-Life Feminist Hero. Eden was a key figure in the 1939 Birmingham Rent Strike which brought 49,000 tenants out on strike, successfully winning them rent control in the council and private sector, and she continued to speak at Communist Party rallies on the issue of housing throughout the war. She subsequently received victimisation pay from the union and a gold medal from Ernest Bevin and had so impressed the party that they would sent her to Soviet Russia to help rally the female workers at the Moscow Metro.Returning to England, Jessie raised her family, remarried and remained politically active, playing a prominent part in the 1939 mass rent strike across the city and would spend much of the war involved in pro-Soviet activity building bridges with the USSR’s ambassador and many visiting delegations in an attempt to improve our relationship with Russia.
Jessie initially went to the AEU (Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union) to ask them to represent her fellow women in this dispute but, whilst the AEU were the most populated and largely Communist union at Lucas’ at the time, they did not accept women as members.
She unearths something in his past that shows his vulnerable side, which not a lot of people would have seen. I haven’t met her descendants, but I understand they have been told about the storyline and are happy with it. They were hard as nails and if a man went in there, they’d get beaten to death.”Jessie is played by Irish actress Charlie Murphy, best known for playing police woman Ann Gallagher in Happy Valley and Anne Bronte in To Walk Invisible: The Bronte Sisters. But triumph proved to be short-lived; a 5,000 strong victory march the following day was broken up by Birmingham’s Chief Constable who was booed by the procession and arrests of known communists were made in attempts to stage a May Day rally. Twenty five years later in 1969, now aged 67, she was still an unstoppable voice for justice leading protest marches against the Vietnam War.In Birmingham, the only statue of a woman in the city centre is currently Queen Victoria. For the next two years there is no record of her activities in the UK, not because she had given up the fight but because she was actually in Moscow, rallying Soviet women construction workers employed building the city’s metro. Played by Charlie Murphy. Among them, as well, are Jessie first appears in the men’s toilet in Thomas Shelby's factory because there are no women’s toilets higher up in the factory. In many ways, Jessie Eden acts as as Tommy Shelby’s conscience (taking over a role previously fulfilled by Tommy’s lifelong friend and brother-in-law, the Communist agitator Freddie Thorne, played by Iddo Goldberg, who sadly appeared in the first series only; having been killed off between that finishing and the second commencing) and this role is something that Knight sees as being integral to the arc of Tommy’s storyline and development:Whatever Knight intends, and however he depicts it, I believe that it is good to see both an aspect of social and cultural history and a significant figure in trade union history be given a spotlight which they had been unfairly kept away from for so long. Note that this episode is set over the course of a Good Friday strike in the city in 1924, and yet Jessie Eden is not referred to as Jessie Shrimpton as she would have been at this stage in her life.
